Working to Work
Working to Work explores the intersection of neurodivergence and employment, asking why autistic people and the wider neurodivergent community often struggle to obtain and sustain meaningful work, and how that significantly shapes not only their working lives but their lives as a whole. Through incisive interviews with neurodivergent creatives, as well as politicians, academics, and business leaders, the series examines interpersonal and structural barriers and practical solutions.
