Autism and the Workplace

What this episode covers

We've talked before about how autism is simply put a different way of wiring the brain and how nature may be doing it for a reason for specific people to have this, this wiring and how we shouldn't be going in vitro and trying to fix or cure autism that we might actually eliminate some very valuable things from our society. For instance, in another conversation that happened on “The influencer club, we talked with somebody who actually does have autism. He has a degree in psychology and he helps people with that degree in psychology. There are some things that come out with autism and come out with things like ADHD, depending on who you're talking to, which may be linked on the same spectrum. He is obsessed with helping people through their dreams and he's built a whole persona and a whole series of books around helping people identify what their dreams are actually telling them without going through astrology or the dream interpretation states. Single symbols have meaning but he's gone about it in a scientific way. So examining your life is one of the things that I have learned. I've worked with several people that have been on the autism spectrum. There are things that they become very ingrained in their work and that they focus on learning about what the problem is in how to handle the problem or discover as much as they possibly can and become sponges within a certain topic and one of the people in history helped grandfather. Quantum physics is Albert Einstein, if it hadn't been for the obsessions between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, which is known that Einstein probably had Asperger's probably would have been on the autism scale according to what we see now. If it wasn't for their work, their discoveries, their discussions, their obsessions, and over-learning about particles in energy and the relationship between light and the speed of light versus matter in mass. If it wasn't for their work. There are a lot of things that we would not actually see today. So think about that. When we think let's fix the minds of those so that they're all uniform, and we try to eliminate things like Autism. Autism in the workplace, let's consider this where we consider a very focused person, that they're going to be further focused on the task at hand. They're going to learn it through and through. I worked with somebody here in radio and entertainment, and he was engrossed in how sound worked and how he could manipulate sound, make it clear and produce a well-rounded radio show. I know others who have autism that through there, were so ingrained and entrenched in advocacy that they learned how to manipulate the media to get them to events so that they would be broadcasted or spoken about in newspapers. So when we talk about autism in the workplace, we're talking about hiring someone who wants to learn the task. Learn it so well that not only do they excel, but your company will excel also.
