**Twitter Announces New Neurodiversity Hiring Initiative**

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Twitter today revealed updated hiring practices designed to actively recruit and support neurodivergent individuals. This policy aims to build a workforce that better reflects the diversity of its global user base.
The company recognizes different ways people think and process information. Neurodiversity includes conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. Twitter believes these perspectives are valuable assets.
New measures target the hiring process itself. Job descriptions will use clearer, simpler language. Interview formats will become more flexible. Candidates might receive questions in advance or have the option for practical tasks instead of traditional interviews.
Support continues after hiring. Managers will receive specific training on neurodiversity. The company will offer tailored workplace adjustments. These could include quiet workspaces, noise-canceling headphones, flexible scheduling, or modified communication methods.
“People think in many different ways,” said a Twitter spokesperson. “We need that diversity of thought to solve complex problems and build better products. Including neurodivergent talent isn’t just good ethics; it simply makes sense for our business.”
The initiative stems from internal employee feedback and collaboration with external neurodiversity advocacy groups. Twitter consulted experts to shape effective policies.
