Neurodivergent clients don’t create problems in your systems. They reveal the ones that were already there.

Neurodivergent clients don’t create problems in your systems. They reveal the ones that were already there.

We’re the canaries in the coal mine. Neurodivergent clients feel the cracks in business systems first.

When systems stop being human-friendly and human-sized, we’re the first to burn out — but eventually, everyone feels it.

As the quote says, “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

That’s why designing your business to work for neurodivergent clients is a smart decision.

Because when I talk about updating my business — clearer systems, slower timelines, more communication support — people often say: “Oh, but that’s just good business. That helps everyone.”

And exactly.

Designing your business to be ND-friendly makes things better for everyone.
That’s the curb-cut effect in action, accessibility features designed for some that end up benefiting all. (Like captions, originally made for Deaf viewers and oh so handy in this era of bad TV audio.)

Neurodivergent-friendly business isn’t about special treatment.
It’s about building systems that work for humans.
