Our Panellists articulated their hopes and ambitions
Learning from cross disciplinary experts across multiple domains
Brainstorming new ways to address the challenges in developing a neuro-inclusive environment in organizations
Connecting with others who are interested in changing the way we think about and support individuals who are neurodivergent
I hope that attendees leave the Think Tank with a better understanding of neurodiversity and its impact on all aspects of business and how a more inclusive environment benefits everyone.
Two hopes – 1) That we walk away seeing neurodiversity in all walks of our lives and recognize how our assumptions of neurotypicality are inherently limiting and exclusionary, but readily changeable, and 2) That we sow the seeds for (interdisciplinary) collaboration on neurodiversity that traverses marketing, policy, and management.
My ambition for the think tank is to create a friendly inclusive environment where everyone can comfortably share their views and explore together what more needs to be done to make all neuro profiles flourish.
My ambition for this think tank is that people leave with a sense of hesitancy (perhaps even ethical qualms?) about engaging in the systematic commodification of autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people in order to create markets for profit generation. Simultaneously, I’d like people to leave with a sense of neurodivergent communities as underserved markets, with whom interest convergence could fairly easily be created. (For example–who knew that tagless t-shirts and seamless underwear would turn out to be such a lucrative and untapped market for sales?? Neurodivergent communities knew….).
To form a collaborative that focuses on scholarship and engagement for neuroinclusive social change.
