The word ‘neurodiversity’ is defined, amongst the others, by Harvard Health as something that “describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits”.
At techmeout.io we are on a mission to revolutionize the way IT professionals apply to job positions and support a corporate culture in which the world is a better place if all minds can thrive equally, including the ones that are autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or more broadly, are what is now referred to as “neurodivergent”. A place where people feel safe to show up as their full selves — whether that’s at work or at school.
Often, neurodiversity also comes with talents and a huge amount of human potential. For example, according to some research, more than 1% of Dutch people — approx. 190,000 people — have a form of autism. In the most industrialized cities in the Netherlands — such as Eindhoven, and Utrecht — it has been proven that there is the greatest concentration of individuals with autism. Many of them have some strong skills and abilities that are/can be particularly appealing for high-quality digital tech jobs.
In recent years, we noticed how many international organizations across the world like Microsoft, Meta, SAP have striven to improve their neurodiversity hiring processes. Most managers are finally realizing the enormous advantages organizations can gain from diversity in the backgrounds, training, gender, and other individual qualities of their teams. And we are confident that this approach will progressively expand also to small and medium-sized companies.
According to another study, there is a range of positive traits, skills, and strengths associated with neurodiversity conditions that have proven to be a good match with any tech jobs:
