Speaker (James Laughlin) discusses personal openness about having ADHD and contrasts this with others who fear disclosure. The speaker highlights societal stigma around ADHD and cites an external claim that businesses can see a ~20% increase in results by hiring or including more neurodiverse people.
Approximately 20% (claimed in the talk).
ADHD is a conversation I have a lot with a lot more people. I'm publicly open about it. However, I've met people my age, male and female, who scared to death of anyone ever finding out that they might have adhd. They personally see it as a fault or a lacking that they are different, whereas we are now starting to see more and more. Someone was speaking at the university the other day when I was there and they were saying that you can see a 20% increase in results from your business if you have just by having more neurodiverse people within.
