Diversity and inclusion at work is crucial, and in the same way that I’m driven to make my art accessible to different audiences, I feel the same motivation to ensure a true representation in the workforce.

According to The Office for National Statistics (ONS), just 22% of autistic adults are in any kind of employment. I find this statistic astounding as it represents a massive employment gap, as well as a vast opportunity to unlock an untapped pool of resource and talent.

Whilst the benefits of a diverse workplace in terms of gender, sexuality and ethnicity are relatively well known, neurodiversity is still not widely considered. Neurodivergent employees bring unique qualities and perspectives including excellent attention to detail, accuracy, tenacity, problem solving and creative thinking abilities. Essentially the very type of people that can help drive your organisation forward.
