Wired Differently
A Field Guide to Neurodivergence at Work

Roughly one in six of your colleagues is running on different wiring. This guide is for them — and for everyone who manages them.Written from inside the demanding workplaces it describes — trading floors, war rooms, 3 a.m. go-lives — Wired Differently skips the theory and goes straight to the twelve problems that actually happen: time blindness, task initiation, sensory overload, meetings, masking, interruptions, working memory, prioritisation under fire, unwritten rules, and the sprint-and-crash cycle. Each chapter covers what it feels like, why it happens — with the research cited — what works if it's you, and what works if you manage someone living it.You'll also hear the evidence for where this wiring wins, including the programme-reported productivity data from JPMorgan, SAP and Britain's intelligence services; a practical disclosure and accommodations framework built on the Job Accommodation Network's cost data; a manager's playbook of ten near-zero-cost adjustments; and word-for-word scripts for the awkward moments.No wellness clichés. No homework. Just what holds up under pressure, on a Tuesday, with three deadlines.Narrated by David Axtell, with a separate track for each of the twelve problems — so you can jump straight to the one currently on fire.
