Harnessing Neurodiversity in Coding: A New Framework for Autistic Talent and Inclusion - Abstract
Autistic individuals possess unique cognitive strengths that can be leveraged in fields such as software development and data science. However, traditional
organizational structures and coding environments often overlook the sensory and social needs of autistic talent. This paper introduces NeuroCodeFix, a novel
system designed to optimize coding and problem-solving workflows for autistic programmers, along with the INIA (Inclusive Neuro-Innovation Awareness) standard,
developed to guide organizations toward neuro-inclusive practices. By analyzing current challenges, proposing practical tools, and outlining the emerging
success of Ghazal Therapy — an innovative sensory-responsive therapeutic framework that merges poetic rhythm with structured cognitive reinforcement — this
study demonstrates the potential for transforming workplaces through neurodiversity-driven thinking. Early feedback and pilot deployments indicate significant
improvements in well-being, productivity, and long-term stability among autistic coders and creatives. The findings suggest that when correctly applied, neuro
inclusion standards and tailored systems can help organizations unlock a global reservoir of untapped cognitive brilliance.
