#14 Empowering NEURODIVERGENT COMMUNITIES with Michael Coles


Listen Later

Join us for an insightful and very raw podcast where Michael shares his lived experiences with autism. He also dives into his episode late last year where he experienced severe autistic burnout whilst at work, causing him to resign and seek the support he needed. This episode is an amazing start to increasing awareness and de-stigmatising neurodivergency. Michael also shares some amazing ways to support the neurodivergent community in the workplace as well as some signs of autism and autistic burnout. Want to be the workplace that actively supports neurodivergent populations? Join us today to learn how you can do just that!
