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.  Our tools are mentoring and discussion, case work and visits from external experts who can contribute with new methods. Your interests serve as the foundation for the peer group, and you can contribute with ideas for subjects, cases or presentations that facilitate a constructive conversation at the group meetings. The group is confidential and a safe space for you to discuss current challenges with like-minded individuals who are not personally invested in your workplace. 

Examples of topics you can discuss in the group

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