One in 44 people in the world is on the autistic spectrum. That translates to over 89 million people on the spectrum in the global workforce. In this course, workplace inclusion consultant Tiffany Jameson and neurodivergent and disability inclusion expert Nicole Seaward discuss ways to include and support your autistic colleagues. Tiffany and Nicole offer an overview of autism, including the language used to discuss it and the impact of multiple diagnoses. They explain autism traits, then dive into ways to work effectively with your autistic colleagues in social interactions, learning preferences, creating an environment where they can work comfortably, and building psychological safety as a manager. They show you how to be inclusive in job posts, interviews, onboarding, performance evaluations, and more. Tiffany and Nicole also share discussions with autistics who describe their experiences.

    Autism and neurodivergence in the workplace need to be talked about more. I experienced working in a company where people are shamed and forced to resign for being "different". Thank you so much for this course.

    A great course in not only its breadth, but its actionable items and advice. These courses benefit the most when they are lead by experts who are part of the community being represented in the content, and it shows that Tiffany Jameson and Nicole Seaward have taken great thought and care into communicating how managers can support their employees and enable the workplace to be a welcoming place which is fundamental for everyone to thrive. This course may also be useful for employees who are part of the autistic community that need help figuring out what kind of accommodations may help them do their best work, everything from acknowledging learning preferences, to communication, to psychological safety, and more.
