Neurodivergence in Scotland Salvesen 27 January 2026
Business Gateway not set- upto provide this. • Participants highlighted inconsistent and often unsupported pathways from education into the workplace for neurodivergent young people. • It was noted that support is frequently provided by third sector organisations rather than government-led systems, resulting in increased pressures for charities with limited funding. • The discussion emphasised the importance of joining up education, the justice system, and employment, rather than treating these as separate systems. • Participants reflected on evidence suggesting an intersection between neurodivergence and criminal justice involvement, particularly where appropriate support has not been put in place early. • Barriers to accessing diagnosis for both young people and adults were raised, with many individuals left in prolonged periods of uncertainty and not getting the right support. • For adults, reliance on private diagnosis pathways was highlighted as costly and not always consistently quality-assured. • Gaps were identified in government schemes and funding to support training, awareness-raising, and sustainable employment opportunities for neurodivergent individuals across sectors. 4
