Context: Neurodiversity is increasingly recognized as a valuable dimension of workplace diversity. However, in agile software development teams, the interplay between teamwork practices and the inclusion of neurodivergent employees remains underexplored. Objective: The study aims to explore how teamwork quality in agile software development is currently practiced and discussed in the context of neurodiversity, and to identify organizational barriers that hinder the effective inclusion of neurodivergent developers. Method: We applied a mixed-method approach combining a web content analysis covering Reddit and LinkedIn with 11 semi-structured expert interviews from a corporate neurodiversity network in a German organization. Results: The analysis shows that teamwork practices are highly fragmented and shaped by individual adaptation rather than a shared standard. While agile practices and supportive tools can enable neurodivergent participation, rigid structures, stereotypes, and one-size-fits-all approaches often undermine inclusion. Organizational awareness and tailored adjustments remain insufficient. Conclusion: Agile practices can promote inclusive teamwork, yet their benefits are constrained by rigid organizational structures and limited awareness of neurodiversity. Harnessing neurodiverse strengths demands flexible organizational conditions and tailored support.
