Rich Rowley & Bex Waugh: The power in being 'neuro-spicy'

Bex Waugh and Rich Rowley are self-described as 'neuro-spicy' - and they're on a mission to help workplaces understand the value neurodivergent people bring.
They're the force behind Neurofusion, an organisation helping people and workplaces find their flow - doing work that suits their cognitive style, not fighting against it.
Bex got her ADHD diagnosis after her daughter was assessed in Year 2. Rich spent years thinking negatively about himself until he discovered he wasn't broken - the systems were.
Their approach: celebrate what you're naturally good at. When you're doing work you love and are good at, it stops being work - it's fun. About 32% of the population is neurodivergent. The future is designing workplaces where everyone can thrive.
