Neurodivergent and Neurotypical experiences of barriers and facilitators to creativity in creative workplaces

Discussing a recent study where neurodivergent and neurotypical people from a range of creative industries were asked what helped and what hindered their creativity at work. The findings showed that while similar factors affect the creativity of both groups, factors such as group working, pace of working and environmental factors (among others) are felt more strongly by neurodivergent individuals.

With the recent change in many peoples working practices, this presentation will also consider whether now is the prime opportunity to alter the creative workplace with these findings in mind and be asking how best to do this.

In preparation, it would be interesting for guests attending to think about their own barriers and facilitators to creativity, and what has been the effect of having more or less control over their creative work environment.
