I was gonna ask this too. I've heard that some employers in the UK (perhaps in the Netherlands too) are actually explicitly asking for ND people in their job listings.

I heard (but haven’t actually checked because squirrel) GCHQ in the UK were actively recruiting ND people.

They always have done this, even before there was a wider understanding / acceptance of neurodiversity (e.g. at Bletchley Park)
