After checking most of the other diversity boxes for decades in the U.S. the new progressive workplace campaign is for 'neurodiversity' i.e. recruiting folks with mental disorders. No, I'm not joking.

It's only a matter of time before corporate quotas for neurodiversity clash with medical requirements in pilot hiring in the socially engineered airline workplace.

From an article in today's news feed:

Designing a truly inclusive workplace is a messy task.

Heightened awareness of neurodiversity —an umbrella term that refers to the breadth of human neurocognitive functioning—has made that project more complex and all the more urgent.

Companies like SAP, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft attest to the advantages of hiring workers diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, Tourette’s syndrome, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. In proven cases, neurodivergent employees tend to have terrific capacity for creative problem-solving and greater attention to detail.
