This week, we’re talking about neurodiversity, well-being, and the intersection between the two with Sean Gilroy. He is the head of Cognitive Design at BBC and co-creator of the award-winning initiative CAPE - Creating a Positive Environment. It removes barriers for neurodiverse people in the workplace.
Today, we find out about what inclusion and accessibility in design mean for people with neurodiverse needs and how this relates to well-being.
Here are the highlights:
(04:54) Society has created barriers for people which they then often struggle to overcome.
(13:31) Even when you have that diagnosis, you've still got that internal battle of trying to be like everybody else.
(20:04) How do you design an experience that seeks to understand the people in it and involves the people that you're looking to design this for?
(24:15) People fall back on stereotypes and they start assuming that you can't do things.
(27:59) People are exhausted, not just from dealing with an environment, physical and cultural, but also that self advocacy as well.
