Abstract
Scientific innovation thrives on diverse problem-solving for modern interdisciplinary challenges. Neurodivergent scientists provide unique perspectives essential for high-impact discovery. We use the 'Neurodiversity Iceberg' to show how cognitive strengths drive innovative research and to offer a plan for mentors and institutions to tap into the potential of their entire scientific workforce.
