That makes cloud computing a natural fit for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia.

We will cover: What neurodiversity means in a cloud context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to cloud roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cloud computing – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.
