Our story

Founded by Jack Dyrhauge in 2019. Whilst running a charity to support autistic people into work, he realised neurodiverse job seekers of all backgrounds were in desperate need of tailored mentoring and inclusive recruitment support.

Barriers to employment

Neurodivergent people face many barriers before arriving in the workplace.

Lack of early intervention in schools and universities
Underdiagnosis, particularly among women
Accessibility barrier when transitioning into employment.

The reason

While out of work or underemployed, the neurodivergent community faces similar challenges in accessing support.

Lack of funding for research (% comparison with cancer)
Lack of funding for adult neurodiversity support
Accessibility issues reduce access to healthcare and welfare services

Each complication makes it harder to compete with neurotypical graduates in the job market. As a result of this vicious cycle, many become trapped in long-term unemployment.
