friend to many neurodivergent people and as a coach to
neurodivergent leaders, I wished this thoughtful, helpful book had
been written decades ago. But it’s here now, and nobody should wait
another minute to dig into the rich insights and practical
approaches that Dr. Praslova offers.”
—Deborah Riegel, coauthor of Go to Help
“Give everyone in your organization a copy of this, read it
together, and then open your eyes to the magic of the multiple
layers of diverse people with whom you’ve been gifted. Embrace
them, welcome them, and ultimately, learn to include them. None of
us are included until we’re all included.”
—Ron Carucci, Managing Partner, Navalent, and bestselling author of

The Canary Code delivers on arming companies with the facts about
neurodiversity and offers salient executable ideas.”
