What Is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is the idea that variation in how human brains work — attention, learning, communication, movement, focus — is a natural and valuable part of human difference, not a deficit to be fixed. It sits alongside diversity of gender, ethnicity or background as a dimension worth understanding and supporting properly.
In a workplace context, being [neurodiversity smart™](/accreditation) means recognising that a meaningful proportion of any workforce thinks, communicates or processes information differently — and building practices that let that talent do its best work, rather than requiring everyone to fit a single mould.
Common neurodivergent profiles
These are some of the most common profiles we support people and organisations with. Traits frequently overlap and co-occur — most people don’t fit neatly into a single category, and that’s expected, not unusual.
Why this matters for employers
Many neurodivergent employees have never been formally identified, meaning they may be navigating work without the adjustments that would let them thrive. Others have spent years masking their traits to fit in — a strategy that works, but at a real personal cost.
Organisations that build genuine understanding — rather than relying on stereotypes — see the benefit twice over: employees supported to do their best work, and access to the strengths and perspectives that neurodivergent thinking brings to problem-solving, innovation and team performance.
Our approach
Lexxic’s team of Chartered and Occupational Psychologists takes a strengths-based, person-centred approach — starting with what works for someone, not just what’s difficult. Every individual’s profile is different, so every assessment and recommendation is tailored, not templated.
From [screening](/assessments/online) through to [diagnostic assessment](/assessments/diagnostics), [workplace needs assessment](/assessments/workplace) and [coaching](/coaching), our services are designed to give individuals and organisations a clear, practical path forward.
Starting With the Do-IT Profiler
For organisations looking to identify needs across a wider workforce, the Do-IT Profiler takes a person-centred approach, looking at an individual's overall strengths and challenges across a range of cognitive areas as well as their wellbeing. It produces an individualised report with personalised guidance and practical workplace tools, dependent on the person's unique spiky profile, without requiring a formal appointment or referral process.
The Profiler does not provide a diagnosis. It provides a starting point: a data-informed view of how someone works best, what they find difficult, and what kind of support is worth exploring further. Where the Profiler indicates a need for more, Lexxic's screening and assessment services provide the natural next step. On this page, we focus on the workplace versions of the Profiler, for individuals in education or other settings, visit the full Do-IT Profiler website.
