Job interview barriers for neurodivergent adults - Toucan Diversity Jon is autistic and wanted to share his take on the barriers neurodivergent adults face while job hunting and getting a job interview.

"Due to raised awareness around neurodiversity, it’s now common practice to be asked if we need any ‘workplace adjustments’ during onboarding, but what about the interview itself?"

Last week we announced the incredible team taking on the challenge of Toucan's Abseil For Inclusion, but why are they doing it? Let's hear from Darron:

"I believe everyone deserves the chance to feel confident, included, and supported.

By stepping out of my own comfort zone, I hope to shine a light on this important cause and make a meaningful contribution."

"I’m taking part in the Abseil for Toucan to help raise vital funds for a charity that creates real opportunities for disabled people.

Toucan promotes social and workplace inclusion through training, helping those who might otherwise face significant barriers."

Have you thought about how comfortable potential employees are disclosing they are neurodivergent?

What might discourage disclosure in current standard recruitment practices, and how can we stop this barrier to employment?

"Many of the same challenges neurodivergent people face in the workplace can have an impact on securing a job in the first place, and employers have a legal duty to avoid ‘unfairly disadvantaging’ these candidates."

Have you thought about how expectations around clothes for interview create a very real barrier to employment for neurodivergent people?

"Before we even arrive at the interview, we’re faced with the issue of clothing, and dressing ‘smart’ to suitably impress our prospective employers and secure the job. This can make the process difficult for neurodivergent people for a variety of reasons."

For #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth we're sharing the thoughts of an integral member of the Toucan Team - Simon Eddy. He wanted to help illustrate his thoughts with this wonderful doodle, shared with permission from @diversitydoodles.bsky.social.

Image Description: An illustration of a young person who is neurodivergent, sitting cross legged and holding a heart, with hearts, stars, leaves and nature around them. Text reads: Awareness is awesome...but we also need acceptance, understanding and accommodation"
