Huge crowd for @ashlebug’s talk on accessibility and neurodiversity. Great to see such support at #DDDBrisbane for an important topic! https://t.co/iB0bTFVhWq


Key takeaways for supporting neurodiversity in the workplace from @ashlebug: rethink the interview process; train managers to recognise and support strengths; empower through advocacy; and have frequent 1:1 catchups. #DDDBrisbane https://t.co/Xjt0KYdVpE
