Good to hear Chloe Smith talking about listening to #actuallyautistic and #disabled voices regarding disability employment gap on The World at One I met with Chloe and Scope to talk about Scope for Change campaign Neurodiversity Works Works a few years ago and discussed why..

internships / placements designed with neurodivergent people's input have much better success rate when creating opportunities for accessible, sustainable employment for neurodivergent people Chloe Smith Scope Neurodiversity Works

I benefitted from Ambitious about Autism Employ Autism internship at @MSIXagency which directly led to my permanent role at GroupM UK Inclusion and Diversity, where I've been working for 3 years and have recently been promoted to manager Chloe Smith Scope Neurodiversity Works

There were 2 other interns, both of who were also offered permanent roles in the wider network of media agencies. One of them also accepted and has been there since These are good, stimulating jobs with career opportunities Chloe Smith Scope Neurodiversity Works

Success was such that we've seen further autism internships at GroupM agency Mindshare UK & WPP agency @hogarthww The GroupM network agencies are progressing through #DisabilityConfident & sharing Microsoft #accessibility training Chloe Smith Ambitious about Autism

Having autistic voices in the business - through the Employ Autism programme running each year & through employee resource group networks of neurodivergent / disabled people & allies - has driven this progress #NeurodiversityWorks Chloe Smith Ambitious about Autism Neurodiversity Works
