Adults on the autism spectrum face the highest unemployment rate among all people with disabilities. Navigating the job market with autism presents unique strengths and challenges, from the application process to daily work routines. This session, led by openly autistic attorney Haley, will explore neurodiversity in the workplace, including the business case for it, disclosure issues, ADA compliance, and creating accessible environments. Attendees will learn the value of neurodiversity, practical advice for job-seeking barriers, how to support neurodivergent individuals through disclosure and accommodations, and universal design principles to foster successful employment.
Stereotypes, stigmas, and ableism make discussing disability challenging, especially for non-disabled individuals. The language nuances further complicate these conversations. Often, those most qualified to lead—people with disabilities—are silenced. In this session, attendees are invited to join the 'Inclusion Revolution' to bridge the gap between disabled and non-disabled communities through meaningful dialogue. Led by an expert, the session promises a candid discussion on disability from a personal perspective. Attendees will learn to address disability with sensitivity and empathy, recognize and combat ableism and stereotypes, and understand the major barriers to disability inclusion.
No two brains are the same, and an estimated 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, including those with autism, ADHD, and various disabilities. Despite this prevalence, discussions around neurodiversity remain challenging, especially within broader disability conversations. In this session, Haley will explore the complexities of disclosure, self-advocacy, and integrating accessibility into our concept of inclusion. Attendees will gain insights into defining neurodiversity, recognizing its absence in D&I talks, and challenging ableism and stereotypes. Haley will also provide guidance on being strong advocates and allies for neurodivergent colleagues, empowering attendees to tackle stigma effectively.
