@evan As a product designer, I vote strong yes. Considering neurodiversity means e.g. providing ways of turning off animations and providing context cues. Ideally you also test at least key flows with neurodiverse end users in their habituated environment.

Evan Prodromou (evan@cosocial.ca)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Nov-2024 12:32:17 JST Evan Prodromou @mjausson Agreed! Neurodiversity also brings different ways of looking at problems or considering solutions. Thinking more broadly within a group can make the work even better.

So if you have coworkers who are neurodiverse, that's something you need to take into account. But that's not unique to designers.
