Ben launches new neurodiversity support, resources for automotive industry

Ben has launched a range of new support options and resources focused on neurodiversity. The automotive industry charity said the resources, whose launch coincide with Neurodiversity Celebration Week, meet growing demand and raise awareness in the sector.

Neurodivergence is when a person’s brain processes, learns, and/or behaves differently from what is ‘typical’ (“neurotypical” describes how the average person’s brain works). Ben said it has found that those in the automotive industry who have reported having neurodiverse conditions such as autism, ADHD, or dyslexia are more likely to experience mental, physical, financial, and social issues.
