In this course, workplace inclusion consultant Tiffany Jameson and neurodivergent and disability inclusion expert Nicole Seaward discuss ways to include and support your autistic colleagues. Tiffany and Nicole offer an overview of autism, including the language used to discuss it and the impact of multiple diagnoses. They explain autism traits, then dive into ways to work effectively with your autistic colleagues in social interactions, learning preferences, creating an environment where they can work comfortably, and building psychological safety as a manager. They show you how to be inclusive in job posts, interviews, onboarding, performance evaluations, and more. Tiffany and Nicole also share discussions with autistics who describe their experiences.

    Content provided good basic knowledge. Most people in the workplace won't know of someone's diagnosis. The goal should be to appreciate everyone and just be understanding when a fellow employee seems to struggle with certain tasks or social skills.

    This was a fantastic course! While much of it was not new to me based on other trainings I've participated in, the content provided good reminders & some new tips of how to identify and practice working effectively and openly with autistic colleagues, or those who may present certain traits when communicating if not known. It also helped to explain some situations that occur in day-to-day work that I may not have previously thought of as being an invisible disability.
