This new report shows it’s time for the construction industry to do more than erect buildings and shines a spotlight on how neurodivergent individuals often face hurdles. This highlights the need for workplace flexibility and better awareness.

Imagine a job site where people can thrive by bringing their real, neurodiverse selves to work and policies encourage authentic expression and adjustments are normal, not exceptional.
