Episode 14

Taking a neurodiverse approach to tech

We chat to James Cusack, CEO of Autistica

Everyone’s talking about inclusion. But how can we make the way we work and our approach to tech inclusive for people who are neurodiverse? We were keen to find out more in this episode, which coincides with Autism Awareness Week.

We spoke to James Cusack, CEO of Autistica and the UK's first openly autistic charity CEO about how organisations should factor neurodiversity into their plans, why this ultimately makes workplaces better for everyone, and how the pandemic has made him think differently about digital.

Zoe and Paul discuss what Chrissy Teigen’s exit means for Twitter and what we can learn from Citigroup’s plans to reset how they work and opt for Zoom free Fridays.
