I graduated from college with a double whammy - in the middle of the great recession as well as being on the autism spectrum (which I didn’t know at the time).
Ten years later my work was being used extensively by NASA and I got to present it in front of Anderson Cooper for a piece on 60 Minutes. I would like to talk about the potential for neurodivergent people to solve the problems facing the world, including COVID, climate change, healthcare, mental health, the economy, and racial inequality. As they see the world differently, the solutions that are straightforward to them can seem like magic to the rest of us.
As a straightforward presentation, it will work for very few people or very many.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:I would like to talk about the potential for neurodivergent people to solve the problems facing the world, including COVID, climate change, healthcare, mental health, the economy, and racial inequality. As they see the world differently, the solutions that are straightforward to them can seem like magic to the rest of us.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:To be completed
