Struggling to understand how to support neurodiversity in your workplace or community?
Sam Mitchell, autism advocate and host of Autism Rocks and Rolls podcast, shares his personal journey navigating a world that often misunderstands autism.
From facing bullying in mainstream schooling to becoming a Davy Award-winning podcaster and TEDx speaker, Sam reveals why people with autism don't need to be "fixed" - they need opportunity.
Perfect for: Leaders, educators, employers, and anyone seeking innovative approaches to inclusion, personal growth, and celebrating human differences.
Your transformation: Shift from viewing autism as something to 'cure' to recognizing neurodiversity as a valuable asset in your community and workplace.
Key takeaways:
- Autism exists on a spectrum with vastly different experiences and capabilities across individuals.
- 85% of people with autism lack full-time employment due to workplace stigma and misunderstanding.
- Society needs to adapt and create space rather than expecting individuals with autism to conform.
- Media representation often portrays autism negatively, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
