What is neurodiversity? And does it fit into broader diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts? 

Today I sit down with Amanda Kelly (D.Psych), President and CEO of Firefly Autism and Co-Founder of the Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce (CNDCC), to learn:

• the alarming state of under and unemployment affecting the autistic population,
• how organizations can benefit from being more neuroinclusive,
• and how we all can advocate for a more nuerodiverse, inclusive world.
