Exceptional Individuals

Exceptional Individuals provides neurodiversity consultancy, recruitment and employment support, working with people who have ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia and with the employers who want to recruit and support them. Founded by Matt Boyd, the organisation offers a jobs board, recruitment services and job coaching for neurodivergent candidates, alongside CV support and online workshops. For employers, its services include neurodiversity training workshops, recruitment support aimed at building a more neurodiverse workforce, workplace needs assessments, and audits intended to help organisations identify where their policies and practices create unnecessary barriers. The organisation frames neurodiversity as a normal variation in how people think and process information, and positions its work around helping employers recognise the strengths associated with different neurotypes rather than focusing only on adjustments. Case studies and social impact information published on its site describe its work with both individual jobseekers and employer clients over a number of years.
