April is World Autism Acceptance Month. While many people face different challenges at work, individuals with autism may face additional difficulties in their workplace environment. However, with appropriate support, autistic individuals can bring a unique perspective and diversity of thought that can drive creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. This World Autism Acceptance Month, we encourage you to learn more about autism and neurodiversity, how it can impact your colleagues and friends, and how you can support them.
