Changing the world. One mind at a time.

(TLDR) The myth that neurodivergent individuals lack empathy is not just oversimplified - it's fundamentally flawed. Our latest blog post delves into the nuances of empathy, challenging misconceptions and highlighting how societal norms can distort our understanding of this complex emotion. Learn to embrace a more nuanced view of neurodiversity and empathy, recognizing the unique strengths and perspectives neurodivergent individuals bring to our world.

When we talk about neurodiversity, we’re not talking about a "feel-good" movement. We’re talking about a revolution in how we see talent, leadership, and what it actually takes to build better workplaces. And now, it’s official: twofold is featured in the SRF documentary “Neurodiversität – Zwischen Leidensdruck und Superkraft.” (You’ll catch us starting at 25:41).

This documentary dives into real stories, not stereotypes. From a firefighter with Tourette’s, to a student navigating university with autism, to businesses (like ours) proving that neurodiverse teams aren’t a risk, they’re an advantage.

Because here's the truth:

  • Neurodiversity isn’t a limitation.
  • It’s not a flaw to fix.
  • And it’s definitely not just a “trend” driven by headlines or hashtags.



Highlighting a key statistic, Noé notes, "If 20% of our society is on the spectrum, you'll likely find that ratio reflected in management levels too." This comment underscores the importance of recognizing and nurturing neurodivergent talent at all levels of an organization.

The podcast also touches on the significance of acknowledging the limitations in current inclusion practices and the steps necessary to sensitize both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals about each other's talents. Noé advocates for strategic investments in diversity initiatives, such as job coaches, to enhance workplace inclusivity.

This engaging discussion provides practical recommendations for daily leadership and highlights the critical role of investments in promoting diversity. For leaders and managers seeking to foster an inclusive environment, Noé’s insights are invaluable.
