Understood.org, a leading nonprofit supporting the 70 million people in the U.S. who have learning and thinking differences, such as ADHD and dyslexia, today released findings from “Unlocking Neurodiversity: A Creative Advantage” — a study conducted in partnership with the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As), the leading U.S.-based advertising trade association, and Havas, one of the world’s largest global communications groups. The study found that neurodivergent employees, who make up nearly half (48 percent) of the industry’s workforce, bring valuable skills that fuel creativity. However, they face increasing challenges that hinder their performance at work. Many report “self-stigmas” such as masking, overcompensating, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism at significantly higher rate...
