In this engaging conversation, Theo Smith and Dave Thompson explore the evolving landscape of neurodiversity and inclusion in the workplace. They discuss Dave's personal journey with neurodiversity, the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in traditional work environments, and the importance of moving beyond labels to focus on success enablers. The conversation highlights the need for universal design in workspaces and the emerging trends in neurodiversity-focused employee resource groups. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of creating a more inclusive and empathetic work environment for all individuals, regardless of their neurodivergent status.
