E277｜Autism, ADHD and the business that’s breaking down barriers to work with Lillie Jamieson

If you’re neurodiverse…

Or know someone who is constantly battling an exhausting cycle of trying to fit in to workplaces that just don’t seem to get them…

Or you’re an employer and want to better understand how you create a more inclusive workplace…

You need to get Lillie Jamieson and her sister Alex on speed dial.

Because after receiving their own diagnoses for ADHD and autism and realising that it was the workplace that needed to change, not them, they created a business helping those with neurodevelopmental differences break through barriers at work.

And with just 22% of people with autism in some kind of paid work and research suggesting that up to 50% of managers feel uncomfortable employing anyone with ADHD, change can’t come soon enough.
