The industry does not do enough to support D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent freelancers. 🧵👇

sat on a zoom call with industry trade unionists talking about cost of living crisis this morning… but it’s interesting how little people want to talk about that for some of us, it’s not just cost of living, but cost of access that’s pushing us out of the industry. A THREAD 🧵

For years, I’ve been scared to come out as autistic, because I simply can’t anticipate the professional implications. I know that lots of neurodivergent people working in media/entertainment/journalism feel the same. There are so many more of us than you think. #ActuallyAutistic

"What would next year's BAFTAs look like if every single person in this room tonight made a pledge, a pledge to put us on the agenda, to put us on every single agenda and for the first time in our industry's history, put disability centre stage." - @TripleC_UK

Neurodivergent people are repeatedly asked to adapt and change their behaviour and fit in within Neurotypical systems, but those systems never ask how they can be flexible and adapt to us.
