I think you will enjoy this one as it delivers a huge amount of information is a very short time. Learning nuggets are short recording which deliver an impactful statement or point on a specific topic. This set was recorded for Uptimize in 2018 as video clips. I pulled the audio track to create this episode. As I mention in the introduction I was still struggling with the correct terminology to use. In this recording I mostly use the term neurodiverse incorrectly as a noun meaning non-neurotypical. Some of my Australian friends finally convinced me that neurodistinct is an adverb and refers to the make-up of a group. Since then I coined the term Neurodistinct to mean non-neurotypical and now use neurodiverse properly as an adverb.When you hear neurodiverse in this recording just think neurodistinct and you will then be up to date with my terminology.For those of you who want to understand neurodiversity terminology better take a look at my blog post Neurodiversity Refined: https://www.timgoldstein.com/blog/neurodiversityrefined You can also download my Neurodiversity Explained infographic from the post.

This episode is Tim Goldstein&apos;s pre-panel presentation for the Neurodiversity in Tech session at DisabilityIn&apos;s virtual conference in January 2021. The panel was just me and Brent Amundson VP HR at Dell Computers. While I can only share this part I think you will still find it interesting and get a lot from it.Disabilityin.orgDisability:IN is the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide. Our network of over 250 corporations expands opportunities for people with disabilities across enterprises. Our central office and 25 Affiliates serve as the collective voice to effect change for people with disabilities in business.Apologies for the sound quality of the presentation. It is the audio track off the Zoom recording. Amazing how much it flattens by voice compared to the intro and outro sections. All the more reason people need to learn to control the sound of their voice so their authentic message gets through. Thank to Roger Love and his vocal training method for changing my voice and relationships.

Tim and Emma Pinnock chat about autism ideas and concepts as from our unique life experiences

It has been far too many month since I have posted an episode. There has been a huge amount going on in my life above and beyond all the changes the COVID pandemic has caused. Like many autistics I can easily get overstimulated and drained in the course of a normal day. Between COVID and joining Google through an acquisition and the changes it brings I get overstimulated and drained by the end of the work day. Unfortunately it leaves me fried for the day and no personal work happens that evening. Weekends have been mostly dedicated to hiding from the computer and trying to avoid anything that is draining. So nothing happens on weekends either other than Tim going over the top on his special interest as is his norm.Hoping this will be the first step in getting back to at least an episode every two weeks. We will see how fast I can get to this goal.Thanks for listening and please share with a friend who could benefit.

For the third year in a row I was invited to guest lecture a class at Cornell University. My topic was challenges autistic people face in interviews. It is such a rich topic, unfortunately for many on the spectrum a job interview is a way to decide you "are not a good fit" which in the USA is HR speak for, your not like us and it makes us uncomfortable so we will illegally discount you from consideration, but give a totally safe non-descriptive answer.You can download the presentation deck that goes with this talk here:Presentation Deck, Tim presents at Cornell Oct 2019For free resources and to learn more visit me at TimGoldstein.comAs always, if you know someone who you think Tim should interview please let us know.
