Lit Synergies - Specialist Neurodiversity Consultancy by Steven Musham

Lit Synergies is a UK-based neurodiversity training and consultancy practice founded by Steven Musham, who works with organisations on leadership development, management practice and workplace support for dyslexic, ADHD and autistic staff. The practice sits at the intersection of coaching and consultancy — it is built for HR and people teams, leadership groups and neurodivergent staff themselves, rather than for one audience alone, and it frames neurodiversity as a dimension of organisational performance that sits alongside — not apart from — wider diversity and inclusion work.

Musham’s own route into this work is personal rather than purely commercial. He studied English Language and Literature before training as a teacher, and it was during that PGCE placement that anxiety attacks derailed the classroom career he had been working towards. Rather than treating that as an endpoint, he spent the following two decades building self-understanding of his own neurotype, and has gone on to deliver training to large numbers of people internationally, including public speaking — an activity he says he was once told was not suited to him. That biography shapes the practice’s central premise: that understanding one’s own neurotype, not just accommodating other people’s, is the starting point for both personal and organisational development. Lit Synergies states three operating values underpinning its delivery — ethicality (trust and accountability in how services are delivered), reflection (building pause-evaluate-learn habits into its process) and empathy (centring the perspectives and experience of the people it works with).

The consultancy’s flagship offer is a Leading Neurodiversity programme, delivered across a range of formats rather than as a single fixed course. This spans introductory virtual awareness sessions through to medium and advanced workshops available online or in person, alongside bespoke sessions built around a specific organisation’s needs, one-to-one coaching for existing and prospective leaders, and organisational health checks. A mediation strand is also offered, delivered — according to the site — by accredited mediators, though beyond that the site gives little detail on trainer qualifications or formal certifications more broadly. Content areas named include foundational neurodiversity concepts, communication across different neurotypes, peer support, and practical guidance for leaders on workplace adjustments and organisational policy, with the stated aim of helping teams understand how colleagues think, communicate and contribute, in the interest of morale, productivity and resilience.

Alongside the leadership programme, Lit Synergies runs condition-specific resource pages for dyslexia, ADHD and autism. The ADHD page, for example, sets out ten practical, evidence-referenced workplace strategies — covering time-blindness and scheduling techniques, visual organisation systems, environmental changes such as reduced-noise focus zones, digital reminder tools, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and building in movement or music where useful for regulation — each paired with a short explanation of the underlying difficulty it addresses. These read as a self-service reference resource for individual professionals rather than a delivered training product, and the site invites visitors to submit their own tips for inclusion, suggesting the resource is intended to grow through community contribution over time.

A further leadership-focused offer was in development at the time of writing, described on the site as an expanded 2026/27 programme aimed specifically at neuro-aware management practice, though full details had not yet been published. Taken together, the practice’s positioning is that of a small, founder-led consultancy whose credibility rests on lived experience and delivery history rather than on a stated set of formal accreditations, offering organisations a route into neurodiversity awareness that runs from entry-level training through to more structured leadership coaching and mediation support.
