I get it, but I am wary of this brewing corporate FETISHISATION of 'neurodivergence'. The UK government held a similar recruitment scheme a year ago[1] - headed by Dominic Cummings - which is no surprise since he is very much in touch with this culture. Of course, he uses SFW synonyms of mental ailments: weirdos, oddballs, wild-cards, etc. It's almost as if these people recently watched Rain Man (1988).
