I've just started reading a Guide on Neurodiversity at Work, published this month by the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development. It looks like it will be an enlightening read. It opens up with a quote from The Atlantic, written by Harvey Blume in 1998. "Neurodiversity may be every bit as crucial for the human race as biodiversity is for life in general. Who can say what form of wiring will be best at any given time." Given current "unhelpful" coverage on autism in some parts of the media at the moment, I felt compelled to capture it & to share. Thanks also to The Guardian who are currently actively inviting disabled people to apply to train as journalists. The more positive attitudes & approaches out there help me to set aside the less helpful. |
