It is time to recognize the immense, often untapped potential of disabled and neurodivergent professionals. The data is clear. In 2024, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities was 7.5%. That's significantly higher than the rate for those without a disability, and the newest 2025 numbers I've seen jump even higher. This isn't just a social issue, it is a talent crisis. We are missing out on incredible skills, unique perspectives, and innovative thinkers.
