Abstract: Using the bibliometric and content analysis approaches, we extracted 232 Scopus-indexed journal articles on neurodiversity employment and work published from the year 1989 to 2022. The VOSviewer software was used for the bibliometric analysis. The findings indicate that articles on neurodiversity and work are scant, under-explored, and fragmented. Key publications were contributed by a small circle of individuals, institutions, and countries. The analysis generated observations regarding the common focus, topic coverage, and authors. We conclude by proposing a multi-level framework to guide research efforts in integrating neurodiverse people into the workplace.
