This project aims to analyze 1) how the perception of neurodivergent employees has changed over time, 2) how companies adapt processes to increase the neurodiversity of their employees and manage them effectively, and 3) how these changes affect neurodivergent employees. By exploring these themes, the candidate will add to our understanding of how companies account for and manage neurodiversity, and the consequences this has for a wide range of firms.
