Episode notes

85% of autistic adults are unemployed. Many young autistic people may leave school without qualifications not because they're unintelligent but because they didn't fit into that educational system. If you're an employer and you're looking at hiring somebody open your mind think about I want to be an inclusive employer otherwise all I'm doing is perpetuating exclusion.

Today is part two with Professor Simon Baron-Cohen. In this episode, we go deeper into the challenges, but also the opportunities of being neurodiverse. Have you have ever struggled with traditional schooling? Have you ever felt that your mind works differently compared to the people around you? If you work with people who would fit that description or live with people who seem to be somehow on the spectrum, this episode can be exceptionally valuable. By the end of this episode, you will discover how these differences, even though they may have kept you back until this point, can be the exact key you need to become unstoppable.
