Background:

A growing number of professionals with conditions such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia are finding new confidence and productivity at work thanks to artificial intelligence tools. A study from the UK’s Department for Business and Trade showed that employees with neurodiverse conditions felt more positive about using digital tools at work and were more likely to suggest them to others.

For many, this kind of support has been a game changer. Tara DeZao, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Pega, said modern workplace tools have made her job much easier after being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. She said she has faced many challenges in her career, but these tools have made her work much easier. DeZao said tools that take meeting notes and manage tasks help her stay focused and avoid distractions.

Across many industries, digital assistants are being used to handle note-taking, scheduling, and communication tasks. For neurodiverse professionals, these tools make it easier to manage time, stay organized, and work more comfortably in inclusive environments.

Experts say inclusive technology helps both people and businesses. Kristi Boyd from SAS said companies that use fair and easy-to-access systems often get better results. Investing in systems that support neurodivergent employees is not only the right choice but also good for business, she said. Studies from SAS indicate that businesses with strong AI governance are 1.6 times more likely to double their return on investment.

Boyd said companies should be careful about hidden bias and make sure their tools work well for everyone. This helps make workplaces fair and flexible.
