From Frustrating to Fun: Building a More Focused, Collaborative, and Neurodiversity-Friendly Workplace

“Engineers—whether it’s been named or not, neurodiversity is already in the room (and it might include you). The same differences that drive innovation and deep thinking can also create friction, miscommunication, and unnecessary stress. You were trained to understand physical forces—not human behavior—but your existing curiosity and problem-solving skills translate more than you think. This interactive workshop explores how different brains show up at work and how to work with those differences instead of against them. You’ll leave with practical tools to improve collaboration, advocate for how you work best, and create a more focused and effective environment. Because neurodiversity isn’t a problem to fix—it’s an advantage to design for—and when you do, work becomes more enjoyable, creative, and productive for everyone.

The neurodiversity-friendly workplace workshop is hosted by SEAOSC’s SE3 Committee at Brandow & Johnston’s DTLA Office, 700 S. Flower St, Ste 1200, Los Angeles CA 90017 from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM on May 28th. Registration is free for members and $20 for nonmembers.
