The SXSW Conference is set to feature several panels and discussions on neurodiversity, highlighting its importance in the professional environment. As a neurodivergent leader, the author expresses excitement at the prospect of such dialogue, while cautioning against the risk of it becoming a mere trend. With 53% of Gen Z identifying as neurodivergent and surpassing baby boomers in the workforce, understanding and supporting neurodiversity is essential for fostering inclusive and innovative business practices. This approach is not only ethical but pivotal for future growth in diverse workplaces.
Hundreds of thousands of peopleâincluding meâare heading to Austin, Texas, for the SXSW Conference and Festivals to learn, share, and meet others who are eager to propel business and culture forward.
Iâm thrilled! Itâs incredible to see that people plan to proactively discuss people who learn and think differently at such an influential event.
Research shows that 53% of Gen Z identify as neurodivergent, and this revelation comes at a critical moment when Gen Z now outnumbers baby boomers in the workplace.
We canât let neurodiversity get labeled as a trend, because itâs not a trend. Neurodiversity is the future, and itâs critical for business growth.
