How Many Groomers Are Neurodivergent? Let’s Find Out.

The grooming industry is filled with creative, compassionate, and highly skilled individuals—but how many of us are neurodivergent? While there’s plenty of discussion about neurodivergence in education and workplaces, there’s little formal data on how it impacts pet groomers. I want to change that.

This poll is designed to gather insights about neurodivergent professionals in the grooming industry—whether you're autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or identify with any other neurodivergence, your experience matters!

Why Am I Doing This?

As a neurodivergent groomer myself, I’ve seen firsthand how traditional education and work environments don’t always accommodate different learning and processing styles. By gathering data, we can start meaningful conversations about accessibility, work environments, and support systems in the grooming industry.

This isn’t just about statistics—it’s about understanding the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent groomers, with the hope of improving education, workplace accommodations, and industry awareness.
