Speaker: Todd Spinner

Unfortunately, little research has been done on adults with Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or defined as neurodivergent. Many younger creatives may have been diagnosed as being somewhere on the autism spectrum as children. However, many more, especially older individuals may have not been officially diagnosed. This presentation introduces those in the creative and tech fields to strategies for working with co-workers who may have ASD or are neurodivergent, which is not often addressed in diversity and inclusion initiatives. Attendees will learn about strategies for working with, supporting and succeeding with neurodivergent coworkers as well as receive a guide on working with ASD and neurodivergent coworkers and teams.
