\u26a1\u00a0Strength-based, non-clinical profiling to understand work styles, not diagnoses\u00a0
\u26a1\u00a0Manager capability as the strongest driver of performance and retention\u00a0
\u26a1\u00a0Practical accommodations that fit real Malaysian workplaces (including SMEs)\u00a0
\u26a1\u00a0Clear, structured workflows that\u00a0eliminate\u00a0ambiguity\u00a0
\u26a1\u00a0Safe, optional disclosure grounded in psychological safety\u00a0
\u26a1\u00a0Simple, measurable KPIs to track real-world impact\u00a0
\u00a0
What we advocated for is simple: guidelines must be practical, scalable, and built on lived experience \u2014 not assumptions. Co-created with organisations and stakeholders in the neurodiversity space.\u00a0Barulah\u00a0hashtag#ngam<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffd\u00a0
