Ask Them!
You arrived here because you have a burning question:
How do I work well with this person who is neurodivergent?
The complete answer is not in your expertise, in your training nor in your past experiences. Because however experienced you are in your role, however much wisdom you have about neurodiversity, and however many conversations you have had with other neurodivergent people, you won’t know how to have a great conversation with the person right in front of you unless you ask them.
But how?
There are many barriers to asking…
Which words?
When do I ask?
How will I sound?
And then after you figure all that out: What next?
Let’s make asking easy…
One thing we learned throughout the process of writing Lens Not Label is that you don't need to take a training course or gain years of experience to work well with a neurodivergent colleague.
You simply need to build one habit: asking! (and believing what we tell you)
…starting now!
We wrote a whole book about this. But you don’t have to wait until it comes out in November to develop the asking skill. Sign up to the Lens Not Label newsletter to get the Ask Them! Worksheet. Try it before your next conversation:
