Abstract
Emergence of the concept of neurodiversity has challenged the conventional perceptions of neurological differences by encapsulating the diversity of neurological variations such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sensory stimuli disorders, etc. The neurodiversity concept asserts that these are natural variations in the human brain, each with its own set of strengths and perspectives. This concept advocates for a shift in societal attitudes, to accept and accommodate neurodivergent individuals, transcending a mere acknowledgment of differences. Perception revolving around and support to individuals with neurological differences, striving for a world that appreciates the richness of cognitive diversity is necessary. Embracing inclusivity is not just a moral imperative; it is a strategic business decision that positively impacts employee satisfaction, innovation, talent acquisition and customer relations, ultimately contributing to the overall success and sustainability of a business.
