One in five people in today’s workplaces is neurodivergent—living with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, OCD, Tourette syndrome, and more. That means most of us already work in neurodiverse teams. What many organizations still lack is a practical playbook that turns this diversity into a true strength and helps every team member thrive.

Bridging the Gap is that playbook: a field-tested, strengths-based guide for managers, human resources leaders, university career centers, and neurodivergent professionals. It replaces guesswork with simple, proven tools you can use right away—whether you’re leading a team or starting your first job. Instead of cataloging what’s broken, it focuses on what works, offering real-world examples and actionable frameworks that bring clarity, structure, and confidence to every role.

Bridging the Gap is for:

• Managers and team leads building neuroinclusive workplaces
• Neurodivergent professionals seeking tools and language to succeed
• University career centers preparing students and new graduates for today’s workplaces
• HR, talent, and accessibility leaders scaling proven practices across their organizations
• Families and mentors supporting the transition into first jobs and beyond

You don’t need a new org chart to get better. You need clear language, well-designed practices, and a strengths-based lens across hiring, onboarding, supervision, feedback, advancement, and retention. With Lee Judson’s guidance, you’ll know exactly how to turn everyday moments into opportunities for inclusion and growth.

Drawing on decades of change-management experience in private practice, hospitals, and the medical device and insurance industries, Judson—a neurodivergent professional and coach—brings empathy, humor, and practicality to every word.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?” Bridging the Gap answers: It’s not—and here’s how you can make it work for everyone.
