Autism at work

  • Summary

  • I was diagnosed as autistic in 2022 and feel strongly that autism is not taken seriously enough in the workplace (and with 21st century pressures, I feel the situation is getting worse). I'm now the neurodiversity representative at my place of work (over 12,000 staff: not sure how many are ND!) and in keeping with my true autistic self, I will be honest and frank as I work towards making the workplace more safe for neurodiverse staff.


    I have a youtube channel as well: the content will be more-or-less the same as here.

  • My Autistic Burnout

    My Autistic Burnout
    Feb 6 2023

    This recording is an account of how I reached burnout. Since my diagnosis, I've heard the experiences of other autistic people and I can see that what I had dismissed as stress, anxiety and depression can all be explained by reaching that end point at work and how that has affected the rest of my life.

Extremely interesting

Fascinating insights into Autism and how Matthew has managed to get far, and then reached his max, due to autistic burnout.
I found it very similar to my own life.
Looking forward to more podcasts.
