Together, we explore how public services can move beyond autism awareness and towards genuine appreciation of neurodiverse thinking. Alex shares insights from his lived experience, discussing the value of autistic strengths such as creativity, innovation, problem-solving and attention to detail, and how organisations can create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive.
