ALT Talk by Jessica Dark, 2nd of October at 2pm on Zoom. Talk title: "Inclusive Research and Organisational Design for Autistic Participation at Work: A Neuro-Cognitive Trait Interaction Approach" Abstract: "This talk traces my doctoral journey, from my initial research exploring autistic women’s experiences of disclosing an autism diagnosis in the workplace through to the development of the three published frameworks that now form the core contributions of my thesis. Drawing on this journey, I will explore epistemic justice, ethical practice and the resources and conditions required for inclusive research, alongside a brief overview of the frameworks developed. I will conclude by considering why meaningful inclusion of autistic people in work requires three shifts in perspective across research and practice: from adjustment to design, from diagnosis to neuro-cognitive trait interaction, and from individual responsibility to researcher, academic and organisational responsibility."
