Show notes:
- Neurodiverse - Group of people who collectively show a wide variety of neurotypes (including Neurotypical and Neurodivergent).
- Individuals can't be "diverse", nor can they be "neurodiverse".
- People who diverge from Neurotypical (NT) brain structures are "Neurodivergent" (ND).
- Most "autism-at-work" programs are not neurodiverse, but are rather autistic monocultures under neurotypical management... and it seems oppressive!
- Neurodiversity at work requires a diversity of neurotypes at all levels of the corporate structure.
