1:00:00Working to Work is proud to present Audio Producer, Robin Blamires' epic sonic journey exploring his passion for radio and experiences seeking work in the industry. The piece is demonstrative of Robin's impressive creative and technical skill, his honour, his deep knowledge and understanding of the rail medium. But it also speaks to the unfortunate reality that many neurodivergent creatives face gaining opportunities to demonstrate their abilities in sustainable and gratifying ways. In episode 5 of season 1 I spoke with Robin about how this might change, but in this episode you can experience in sonic technicolour the talents, challenges, and joys (there are ally's and supporters featured).

On 26th November 2024 the UK Government published a white paper detailing their plans to ‘Get Britain Working’. This paper included plans to support disabled and neurodivergent individuals, and people experiencing mental ill health. I spoke with BBC Radio 5 Live host, Gordon Smart about what challenges neurodivergent people experience obtaining and maintaining work, the difficulties that can result, and what the new Labour can do to address these problems.

In this clip cut from the full episode, Sir Robert Buckland outlines the key findings from the Buckland Review of Autism Employment, which focuses on breaking down barriers autistic individuals face in the workforce. He discusses crucial steps such as reducing stigma and launching the Neurodiversity Employers Index, alongside the review’s 19 recommendations. Sir Robert also explains the next steps, including the formation of a dedicated task group to oversee the implementation of these recommendations, along with speeding up existing support programs like Access to Work. The task group will play a pivotal role in advising on policy, reforming recruitment processes, and supporting employers in creating more accessible workplaces.

We explore key barriers that neurodivergent individuals face in the workforce and the practical recommendations outlined in the report. From improving recruitment processes to making workplaces more inclusive, we cover what needs to change to better support autistic and neurodivergent employees. The conversation also touches on the broader implications for businesses and how creating more inclusive environments can benefit everyone.

In this episode I speak with Rebecca McGinnis, Senior Managing Educator of Accessibility at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, about the limitations of traditional inclusion models. We explore how her work in creating more meaningful inclusion for disabled visitors goes beyond basic accessibility, and draw parallels to the workplace, particularly for neurodivergent workers. We discuss how genuine inclusion involves recognising and appreciating individuals’ strengths, and fostering working practices and cultures that support them. The episode also includes a review of Glassdoor’s policies to assess whether it is a neurodivergent-friendly employer. Time stamps coming soon!

In this clip from Working to Work episode 13, I speak with Nanette Mellor, a charity CEO who has worked at Drake Music, the Brain Charity, Mencap, and other organisations supporting disabled individuals. Nanette shared how job tailoring and job carving—innovative practices that allow roles to be customised for individual strengths—benefit neurodivergent individuals and those with disabilities. While these practices are designed with inclusivity in mind, they also offer wider applications that may benefit non-disabled individuals by enhancing productivity and job satisfaction through personalised job roles.

For this episode I spoke with Nanette Mellor, a disability and neurodiversity specialist, most recently working as a CEO of Drake Music, about their work championing neurodivergent strengths.Our conversation touches on how neurodivergent differences might be better understood and catered to in education; what diagnosis might look like in the future; and whether some of the skills historically considered essential are as crucial in the 21st century. We also spoke about the impact of AI for neurodivergent people in the workplace, how common neurodivergent strengths like creative thinking and becoming more valued, and about Nanettes own journey through employment, the challenges and strengths of being dyslexic, and how challenging convention can lead to resistance even in leadership positions.

I spoke with autism researcher Professor Anna Remington, Director of CRAE at UCL, about the notion of 'perceptual capacity'. The discussion covered what perceptual capacity is, its significance to neurodivergent people (spoiler: many autistic people have a high perceptual capacity), and how understanding and working with one's perceptual capacity can help improve effectiveness and mitigate challenges associated with increased sensory sensitivities. Chapters and links are below.
