Redesign the Future of Work with Neurodiversity in Mind

Brainstorm: A Guide to Neurodivergent Talent and the Future of Work is a bold, practical guide to rebuilding work from the ground up. It shows that inclusion is more than the right thing to do, it is essential to business success. With raw honesty, sharp storytelling, and real-world tools, Brainstorm challenges tired corporate narratives and equips leaders, managers, and teams to unlock overlooked talent. Drawing on the voices of people across industries and ways of thinking, including trailblazers, business leaders, and academics, it highlights how work must be built for every kind of mind.

Written by Dave Thompson, a pioneering self-advocate, educator, and innovator in the field of neurodiversity employment for over a decade, this book shows readers how to:

Build environments that empower people across every cognitive profile Rethink “accommodations” as Success Enablers that fuel performance and growth Foster psychological safety, allyship, and trust in teams of every size Rethink hiring, management, and retention practices to expand your talent pipeline Tackle real workplace obstacles like communication breakdowns, burnout, and bias

For employers of all sizes and industries, Brainstorm delivers an urgent call to action: stop forcing people to fit a system that was not designed for them. Instead, rewire the system itself and watch innovation, productivity, and engagement surge, and see everyone win.

Dave, a Visiting Scholar at Vanderbilt University’s Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, speaks to audiences from Fortune 500 leaders to professionals and advocates, bringing lived experience, systems expertise, and big-picture thinking to complex change. Outside of work, he’s a dad, a husband, and a former New Yorker living near Nashville. This is just the beginning. Join us at www.BrainstormNeurodiversity.com
