DESCRIPTION:   \n \n \n \n FREE for ALL \n \n \n \n Talk summa
 ry:\n \n \n \n Occupational Health has traditional
 ly approached neurodivergence through the lens of 
 individual adjustment — diagnosis\, reasonable adj
 ustments\, and support for the person. This sessio
 n goes further\, asking what neurodivergent experi
 ence can reveal about the design of work itself. D
 rawing on concepts including person–environment fi
 t\, cognitive and social ergonomics\, monotropism\
 , masking and the double empathy problem\, the tal
 k explores how hidden cognitive\, social and envir
 onmental demands are built into everyday work — an
 d how they affect everyone\, not only those with a
  diagnosis. The central argument is that OH\, sitt
 ing at the interface between the person\, their he
 alth\, the job and the working environment\, is un
 iquely placed to read patterns across individual c
 ases as a form of organisational intelligence: ins
 ight that can help employers design healthier\, mo
 re sustainable and more effective work for all.\n
