At Work First Foundation, we're committed to eliminating employment barriers for people with disabilities and justice-involved individuals. Neurodiversity—the natural variations in how people think, learn, and process information—is a critical part of this mission. Many neurodivergent conditions, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, are recognized disabilities under the ADA, and research shows higher rates of neurodivergence among justice-involved populations, making workplace inclusion essential for both communities we serve.

For neurodiverse professionals, navigating job interviews, meetings, and daily workplace interactions may require additional strategies and self-advocacy. Communication differences, sensory sensitivities, and varying organizational needs can impact everything from the job search process to career advancement.
