I think increasing flexibility and allowing for increased autonomy accommodates neurodiversity well. For example, flexibility in what time a person chooses to work or how they work (remotely or in office). Giving a person to choose what works best for them allows them to figure out what routine or work style promotes the most productivity.

Another thing to accommodate neurodiversity is having multiple avenues of communication. Some people understand written text faster than when the same communication is given verbally, and vice versa. So opting for all avenues of communication, when reasonable, helps all kinds of people be accommodated.
