BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Workplace diversity and inclusion initiatives have improved inclusion for many diverse subgroups. The term neurodiversity refers to individuals possessing a great range of cognitive differences, including Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), dysgraphia, dyslexia, Tourette’s, and other learning differences.

The importance of neurodiversity issues in the workplace has outpaced the research in this area. Organizations are attempting to provide more inclusive environments and inclusion hiring practices for neurodiverse individuals that is new to most organizational Human Resources personnel. Moreover, the organizational implications for practices related to neurodiverse employees is continuously evolving. A major cause of this continuous evolution is that there are ambiguous and/ or contradictory legal rulings regarding the appropriate accommodations for the neurodiverse employee in federal and state cases.

Therefore, we are issuing a call for manuscripts which will be chapters in a volume of the Research in Organizational Sciences published by Infoage Publishing. This volume is tentatively entitled Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Conceptual and Practical Insights for Increasing Neurodiversity Inclusion. Manuscripts may be either theoretical/ conceptual or empirical. Manuscripts should describe the potential impact of a) organizational practices; b) the neurodiverse employee; and/or c) the interaction between organizational practices and the neurodiverse employee in improving inclusion in the workplace.
