I recently had the privilege of delivering a talk on the topic of Neurodiversity In Tech at @ffconf. The talk was a great opportunity to shed light on the importance of embracing neurodiversity within the tech industry.

6. Embracing Neurodiversity in Tech / Jonathan Fielding / ffconf 2023
I've refreshed my @ffconf talk page on Neurodiversity in Tech, now featuring the slides. Visit https://www.jonathanfielding.com/ffconf for this and more resources #NeurodiversityInTech #ffconf
When you start to improve the way we organise our teams to be more accessible to those who are neurodivergent, we also improve them for everyone else.
There is a term for this, the curb-cut effect, coined after when we adapt our streets for those less physically abled we also improve them for everyone else.

This quote neurodiversity really well - “Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.” https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/what-is-neurodiversity-202111232645 @ffconf #ffconf
Just kicking off my talk at @ffconf on #NeurodiversityInTech, starting off by sharing my personal journey
It is less than 4 weeks till my talk at @ffconf, and I am spending my Saturday working on my talk, but being a typical neurodivergent I got distracted and built a social links page http://www.jonathanfielding.com/links
