Autism isn’t new and nor is it over-diagnosed as some claim. But, outdated perceptions based on inaccurate assumptions that are often made worse in an atmosphere of cancel culture, means managers often dismiss autistic people from their jobs because they believe they’re managing problem employees rather than people living with a social disability.
Neurodivergent people are different, but we’re not a problem to be eradicated. Nor are we in opposition to the rest of society, and we can cultivate positive relationships in the workplace by taking a step back and working to correct pervasive misunderstandings. It’s true, neurotypical people and autists will never be on the same page, but we don’t have to live on different continents, either.

Raising awareness for autistic people
to end discrimination at work and beyond
My book, Smash the Boulder; understanding the autistic brain and promoting positive relationships in the workplace offers the clarity management needs to understand a difference among humans that is more common than many realise, and one that is more relevant to their diversity, equality and inclusion policies than most businesses recognise.

What's Next?
Coming Up...
- The Parrot's Challenge is my next project for publication under the Awesome Scribblers United imprint.
- It's a People Pleaser's toolkit for recovery and a strength builder for anyone struggling to cope with the demands, expectations and behaviours of others, and the intolerance of cancel culture in our unforgiving world.
- The Parrot's Challenge combines the power of our imaginations with our own wisdom to lead us to a brighter future where our past experiences don't taint our current reality. It channels a combination of knowledge, visualisations and journaling to amend our perception to one where we are in charge and the opinions and behaviours of others take an appropriate back seat.

smash the boulder: it's the decent thing to do...
The exponential rise in autistic diagnoses will continue because the prevalence of autistic brain function has always been greater than originally thought and the knee-jerk reaction that society is over-diagnosing autistic people is harming a minority group who've already been harmed enough.
It's a harmful assertion because it isn't based in truth. It's a judgement born from panic about the financial implications of so many having a 'disabled' status and it ignores a more logical interpretation of the facts.
So great is the incidence of autistic brain function in society, the existence of an autistic neurotype is a conversation we must have. There's work ahead to reverse misconceptions and integrate autistic people into our workplaces, and this can be achieved by replacing inaccurate public perception with the truth. The establishment's acknowledgement of The Spectrum supports the potential existence of a neurotype; at the least, it justifies and demands a conversation. It's time to widen our perceptions to accommodate the implications.
The Spectrum recognises the prevalence of autistic brain function in society and the degrees of similarity and difference within it. Recognition of an autistic neurotype would help promote autistic inclusion at work, make autistic discrimination harder and less likely, and ensure those who need the most support still receive the help they need. While those who can work and live independently, would have access to the job market, and security within it, to live productive, and most importantly, authentic lives.
Supervisors and managers often think they're managing problem employees when a company employs autistic people, but this is because they don't understand us and can only observe us through a neurotypical lens. Because of our traits, we often face rejection in the workplace and this is made worse by the current leaning towards cancel culture. But without a willingness to understand us, and adjust people management strategies accordingly, diversity, equality and inclusion policies are nothing more than empty words.
Thank you for your support.

Neurodiversity
You can follow me on Social Media:
I'm vocal every day pushing for the respect of diversity, equality and inclusion policies, a recognition that businesses aren't managing problem employees when they employee autists, and cancel culture is a form of bullying leading to discrimination against neurodivergent people.
We know people of difference have a right to be treated as equals. The outdated view that all autistic people have a condition denies us equality in society. The assertion that autistic people have a condition enables the majority to judge us as 'less' or 'faulty' and in need of a cure. It enables complacency. The degree of struggle for some, however, supports the label of having a condition. This is where recognition of a neurotype comes in because it encompasses all autistic people regardless of whether they see their brain function as a condition, whether they experience disabling traits, or whether their traits don't warrant an official diagnosis.
