Neurodivergent at work

If you experience unique career challenges and want to share experiences with like-minded peers, join IDA’s facilitated peer group for neurodivergent members.

Navigate your career as a neurodivergent professional

Navigating the workplace as a neurodivergent professional brings unique strengths, but it can also present distinct challenges in an environment often built for the majority. Whether you are managing sensory overload, decoding unwritten social rules, or looking for ways to thrive as your authentic self, remember that your experiences are valid and you do not have to figure it out alone.

Peer Group meetings are confidential and facilitated

The peer group provides a confidential space where you can follow each other’s development and share insights and experiences. Over time, you will get to know your fellow group members well and be able to give each other tailored advice and feedback.

The group’s facilitators introduce relevant exercises and tools that provide valuable insights into your interests, skills, strengths, and areas for development.

It is acceptable to leave the meeting along the way if it is needed.

You choose the themes

The peer group takes a point of departure in cases from your working lives and careers. We use mentoring, discussions, case work, and sometimes bring in external experts who can share new perspectives and tools. 

The meetings focus on themes that are relevant to you. You are encouraged to bring your own ideas for topics, cases, or presentations to spark meaningful conversations at the meetings.

The group is a confidential and safe space where you can talk openly about your current challenges with like-minded people who are not a part of your day-to-day workplace.

Examples of topics you can discuss in the group

  • How open should you be about your diagnosis
  • Navigating unwritten rules in the workplace
  • Structure and productivity in your work life
  • Teamwork and professional relationships
  • Specific needs and how to accomodate them; fx related to sensory challenges
