For this bonus episode Dave is joined by Joyce Coombersewell. Joyce is a mentor and trainer and is one of a small minority of mentors and trainers who are themselves autistic. She has a BA in Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring, a MSc in the history of autism, and is currently undertaking a PhD on older women’s experience of autism and their relationship with diagnosis. The conversation focuses on the understanding of what neurodiversity is and how this can be managed responsibly in the modern workplace.
