"The Canary Code is a groundbreaking framework for intersectional inclusion and belonging at work that embraces human cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological differences-neurodiversity. Despite their skills and work ethics, members of autistic, ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, learning differences, and related communities face barriers to hiring and advancement. In the U.S., 30-40% of neurodivergent people and 85% of autistic college graduates struggle with unemployment. Yet, like canaries in the coal mine, they are impacted by issues that ultimately harm everyone. Lack of flexibility, transparency, and psychological safety exclude neurodivergent, disabled, and multiply marginalized talent-and leave most employees stressed and disengaged. This book helps CEOs, human resources and DEI leaders, managers, and consultants design neuroinclusive and thriving workplaces where everyone can do their best work. It draws on examples of pioneering organizations, human stories, academic research, and the author's decades of experience.

Embedding the 6 "Canary Code" principles across the talent cycle can unlock human thriving and productivity: Participation; Outcome focus; Flexibility; Organizational justice; Transparency; Valid Measurement. This unique book combines the lived autism experience with cutting-edge organizational thinking, academic rigor, and passionate, artful writing.

In The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work, Ludmila N. Praslova delivers a groundbreaking framework for rethinking workplace inclusivity through the lens of neurodiversity. At the heart of the book is the "Canary Code," a compelling concept that underscores the transformative power of supporting the most vulnerable individuals in an organization. By prioritizing their well-being, Praslova argues, workplaces can evolve into environments that benefit everyone. Drawing a vivid analogy to the welcoming and diverse atmosphere of Glastonbury, Praslova advocates for workplaces to emulate this spirit of inclusivity and open-heartedness. Rejecting the deficit-based approach that seeks to ââ?¬Å"fixââ?¬Â? neurodivergent individuals, she instead challenges organizations to confront and dismantle neuronormative systems that marginalize these employees. Her perspective reframes neurodiversity as a systemic issue, shifting the focus to creating equitable conditions where all individuals can thrive.
One of the bookâ��s most powerful contributions lies in its exploration of neurodivergent leadership. Often overlooked in conversations about workplace diversity, this section examines the unique strengths neurodivergent leaders bring and highlights actionable steps organizations can take to support their advancement. Praslovaâ��s emphasis on inclusive leadershipâ�"centered on outcomes rather than rigid adherence to traditional behaviorsâ�"offers a fresh and forward-thinking perspective. Blending social science, case studies, and actionable strategies, this book is both informative and inspiring.
Praslova writes with clarity and compassion, balancing academic rigor with accessibility. Her structured, articulate prose makes complex social concepts easy to understand, while her use of real-world examples and anecdotes adds relatability to the narrative. Praslovaâ��s passion for social justice shines through on every page. From debunking misconceptions about neurodiversity to advocating for inclusive recruitment practices, her coverage of the subject is comprehensive. Particularly notable is her integration of both quantitative dataâ�"such as the alarming statistic on UK managerial reluctance to hire neurodivergent individualsâ�"and qualitative stories that humanize the challenges faced by this community. This dual approach provides a holistic understanding of the systemic barriers neurodivergent individuals encounter. Praslovaâ��s advocacy extends beyond awareness to actionable change. The book includes detailed strategies for eliminating barriers to workplace success, from crafting bias-free job descriptions to designing quiet workspaces that support focus and productivity. Her step-by-step guidance ensures that readers not only understand neurodiversity but also see its value, fostering workplaces where diverse neurological experiences are celebrated rather than stigmatized.
With The Canary Code, Ludmila N. Praslova offers a bold and essential blueprint for transforming workplaces into havens of inclusion and respect. Her work is as compassionate as it is informed, demonstrating her commitment to dismantling systemic inequities and creating opportunities for all individuals to thrive. This is more than a book; it is a call to action. For leaders, educators, and anyone committed to advancing workplace equity, The Canary Code is a vital resourceâ�"and a beacon of hope for a more inclusive future.
