Are your company policies and cultural norms creating unnecessary roadblocks for people? Neurodiversity is a term that recognizes the differences in all people, and is often used to refer to different thinking and behavior patterns\xa0in the context of the autistic spectrum. In this interview Andrea taps the experience and expertise of an autism\xa0specialist to help us all learn what we can do to be more accommodating\xa0to the diverse needs of people at work, giving them a chance to bring their best to work.Stephanie C. Holmes is formerly a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of NC.

She is an ordained minister, author, autism researcher, speaker, and certified autism specialist.
