1.) Curt, B. More and a couple of others conducted an experiment to see how neurodiversity is related to entrepreneurial cognition. Their study draws on prior research from entrepreneurship and neuroscience to empirically examine the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and the entrepreneurial mindset. They examine differences between
entrepreneurs with and without ADHD in cognitive style, entrepreneurial alertness, metacognition, and resource induced coping heuristic. Their results suggest neurodiversity from ADHD is meaningfully related to aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset. The results suggest entrepreneurs with ADHD employ a more intuitive cognitive style and demonstrate higher levels
of entrepreneurial alertness and RICH, while no significant differences in metacognition were found.
This source I am using has tremendous value to my topic and my overall portfolio. When I first started doing preliminary research, I was looking through the lends of only one perspective on neurodiversity, and that was neurodiversity in the work place. Then I stumbled across this source, which was an experiment conducted and written by Curt, B. More and a couple others, that focused on neurodiversity and its relationship to entrepreneurship. This made for a totally new perspective on my topic and that is why its highly valued. This source connects to other sources I’ve gathered thus far, because its focus is on neurodiversity, yet, their is a different perspective that both have on neurodiversity.

3.) I think open space offices would be extremely unproductive for a few reasons, but mostly it would be distractive. In my opinion, it would so hard to get any work done when you can see directly into co-workers areas. I think these types of offices would cause fear for some workers, because it makes you feel like your always being watched, and that might actually be the case. Also, sexual harassment in the work place could grow, because men would have more exposure to their female co0workers.
Distractions are certainly a major concern, particularly for the many folks who experience anxiety–that’s another form of neurodiversity that we would do well to consider….
