Abstract: Through WIL programs, many individuals work with invisible neuro-atypical conditions (e.g. autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, gifted…). Often, individuals do not tell their WIL supervisors at work and WIL support at the University about their neuro-typical conditions because they want to act, work and behave as other individuals. But they do not feel well. The lack of knowledge, open-mindedness or will around invisible neuro-atypical conditions often cause several issues for individuals (e.g. strange behavior, emotions out of control, bad feeling…) and for WIL support (e.g. lack of understanding, repudiation…). For WIL community and for the future of work, these issues need to be addressed in order to develop inclusive WIL programs for individuals with invisible neuro-atypical conditions. This exploratory research, based on a multi-level qualitative (20 interviews) method in French context, examines how to propose specific HR, managerial and educational support to help WIL community to be inclusive for neuro-atypical student-workers.
