Kim Crawley: We Need a Diversity of Brains in this World
Kim Crawley: We Need a Diversity of Brains in this World
The National Autism Association states that Autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that generally appears before the age of 3. Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction, communication skills, and cognitive function.
Since autism was first diagnosed in the U.S. the incidence has climbed to a rate of 1 in 59 children in the U.S.
According to pop culture… it may be a super power as well. There seems to be a lot of Doctors on TV now who are on the Autism Spectrum like Dr. Temperance Brennan on Bones or Dr. Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory
We also get the occasional action herosuch as Ryan Gosling’s The Driver or Lisbeth Salander from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
And of course, the classic American underdog heroes Raymond Babbitt and Forrest Gump
Out here in the real world… people on the Autism Spectrum are all around you. Most of them do not have Salander like superpowers, but rather are every day Janes and Joes who go to work, do their jobs and live their lives.
Ever wonder what’s it’s like to chat with someone on the Autism Spectrum? You shouldn’t… if CDC statistics are accurate, there are nearly 6.8 MILLION people on the Autism Spectrum in the United States
In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson sat down with respected security writer Kim Crawley to talk about the current state of the cybersecurity world, some of the issues with locking down IoT, drumming… and Kim’s recent diagnosis as being on the Autism Spectrum.
Take a walk with Kim as she shares her experience in the security industry and why being on the Autism Spectrum is just another facet of her personality.
