Neurodiversity: the untapped competitive advantage | Andrew Pfeiffer | TEDxCanberra

[@lowyieldforeffort6996]

I'm neurodiverse myself, but in a way most people haven't heard of. I have Saccadic Dysfunction - which causes me to mix up between lines easily. Therapy yielded many improvements, but there are still jobs I can't do well. Like bookkeeping and finance. Ironically, the place that let me go because I didn't do well in finance has hired me back in a different role. You never know!

Go Andy! I'm proud to say I went to uni with this guy - he is extremely intelligent and the one of the kindest people you'll meet

[@emmas9505]

I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story, Andrew. Neurodivergence is all around us, but our society can be so hostile when it could so easily foster more than just neurotypical brains. The benefits to be reaped are incredible. I really hope organisations are heeding your advice.

Inspiring and thought provoking - and that's a great suit!

[@iliachidzey6677]

I love your suit! Mesmerising… I used to work for a company that was 90% neurodivergent (including myself). I have never understood the CEO’s (also neurodivergent) decision to hav an open plan workspace. So many stressed employees. It might have been a deliberate power move. He had a much prized office all to himself. Who knows. Great talk!

Great presentation! every one has unique capabilities & talents, the new world human should accept & utilize diversity with all aspects

[@rodrocha8063]

This is just so powerful and important! Really good job!

[@jacintaanderson]

Interviews are an interesting one. They shouldnt be a test. The point of them is really to get to know the person. Their work history and qualifications tell them if you can do the job, the interview should be to see if you are a good fit for the team personality wise.
