Tip #1: Put it in writing and pictures! We all have challenges remembering everything, and so written lists and visual diagrams can help neurodivergent employees keep track of things. #neurodiversity #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismawarenessmonth
We are focused on transforming the workplace to lower the rate of under/unemployment for autistic adults. Every Monday this month we’d like to share a tip for either autistic employees or their employers. We’re hoping these tips will be helpful for individuals in both groups!
We had planned to debut the digital version of our data trees at an exciting event that would have occurred last month. Due to circumstances surrounding #COVIDー19 that event was cancelled, but we have plans for this digital version to be utilized in the future! #Neurodiversity
Recently Dan Burger adapted these trees, originally designed by Amaya Caudel, to create a digital version and here we have a sneak peak! Did you know that computer programming and visual thinking are common strengths in the autism community? #AutismAwarenessMonth #Neurodiversity
If you‘ve visited the Frist Center in person, you have likely seen our data trees up on the center column! These trees are a visual display of neurodiversity, with different sections of the tree corresponding to different responses relating to common autistic behaviors. #autism
While the COVID-19 pandemic may be preventing us from celebrating autism awareness month in person, we look forward to engaging with you digitally over the next several weeks! #neurodiversity #autismawareness #autismawarenessmonth
The Frist Center will be celebrating Autism Awareness Month throughout April by sharing the strengths accompanying the challenges that come with autism, showcasing the accomplishments of autistic individuals, highlighting our partners and sharing employer tips! #AutismAwareness
Happy World Autism Awareness Day! This day helps raise public awareness of ASD and the need of places like the Frist Center to help combat the challenges that accompany autism in a world designed for the neurotypical brain. #autismawarenessday #AutismAwarenessMonth
We’ve put up another useful language resource page on our website! This one informs on vocabulary related to neurodiversity! #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #vanderbilt #vandy #asd #autism #adhd #dyslexia… instagram.com/p/B-H26tshmBL/…
