Abstract: 
We report a multilevel investigation of the interplay between neurodivergence and boundary-spanning activities in groups as predictors of social skills and diversity climate, In a sample of 357 group members nested in 70 organizational groups, we show that neurodivergence negatively affects conversational and work-related social skills, We also show that boundary spanning attenuates the association between neurodivergence and social skills, We discuss differences observed for within- as well as between-group effects and discuss the indirect association between neurodivergence and diversity climate as significantly mediated by conversational skills, Our study makes important contributions to the literature on neurodivergence in the workplace, showing the beneficial role of engaging in boundary-spanning activities.
