Produktbeschreibung
Did you know? Autistic people have always been part of the workforce. Many businesses actively reject autistic applicants. Many businesses discipline autistic workers, and often terminate their employment, for reasons that are directly attributable to their disability. Most business managers aren't aware they're doing this. People often fear and dislike what they don't understand, leading to unnecessary conflict and the rejection of good, and often vulnerable, people who find themselves isolated in a world that doesn't relate to them. The diversity train has improved lives for many minority groups and in the spirit of inclusivity, many modern businesses now encourage staff to bring their 'true selves' to work. For neurodivergent people, however, this invitation is fraught with danger. Society doesn't know enough about autistic brain function for us to feel safe in bringing our true selves to work. This book aims to change that. Smash the Boulder aims to foster positive relationships between neurotypical and autistic people in the workplace, by promoting an awareness of our differences and how they can present, leading to mutual understanding and tolerance.

Autorenporträt
Eliza Jane is an autistic writer and proofreader who has worked in many organisations in the East Midlands and experienced, first hand, the intolerance autistic people encounter in the workplace. She only realised she might be autistic in her late forties and received confirmation of her diagnosis in her early fifties. In her book, Smash the Boulder, she brings together more than thirty years of experience in neurotypical workplaces and a comprehensive knowledge of the misunderstandings that can cause harm to so many autistic workers, with a view to fostering positive relationships in the workplace, now and in the future.
