Neurodiversity refers to the idea that there are diverse ways in which people think, learn, and behave.

In a podcast interview with APQC, Collins-Craig shared insights about common forms of neurodiversity in the workplace, how leaders and HR can better accommodate neurodiverse employees, and how neurodiverse employees can better advocate for themselves.
