By fostering an environment that appreciates neurodiversity, we can provide a safe space for everyone to express themselves and share their unique perspectives.
Testimonials
Being a late-diagnosed ADHD-er, my mission is to prove that there is nothing such as a normal brain, as we humans are neurodiverse. We all have our strengths and challenges.
Recognizing these makes us better equipped to collaborate and support one another to achieve the best results possible.”

For any person, it is important to feel a sense of belonging, purpose, contribution, acceptance and support. As a neurodivergent with autism, I have often felt that I have not fitted in or was made to feel different. To be honest, I still find my autism a challenge and once in a while a little restrictive but have learned beer coping strategies and also found "my people," where I feel a true sense of acceptance and belonging. Neurodiversity, in whatever shape it comes, needs to be embraced, understood and championed and I hope to champion other neurodiverse colleagues in HCLTech and indeed any colleague who needs support to help them thrive. We are stronger together!"
