#Aspiritech staff had a great time getting to know each other in person while playing Whirlyball, Laser Tag and more at WhirlyBall in north suburban Vernon Hills, IL. This day of team building was a great way to see each other in person while getting away from the daily routines of project work. Thanks to our donors who were able to make a day like this possible for our employees. #Whirlyball #Lasertag #TeamBuilding #Neurodiversity #InPerson #HardlyWorking #AutismChicago #VernonHills #AutismSocial

"The Walzes’ words and their embrace of their son may seem utterly unremarkable. But that’s the point. Loving your children, celebrating their gifts and embracing them fully ought to be unremarkable whether they’re neurodivergent or neurotypical. Neurodivergent people deserve parents who are dedicated to helping them thrive. They deserve family members who know that the way they love, interact and see the world, while different from their neurotypical counterparts, deserves the same respect." https://hubs.li/Q02N2lGJ0
Opinion | The Walzes have been nearly perfect in talking about their neurodivergent son, Gus

Aspiritech is sad to have learned about the passing of NeuroTribes author and autism community ally Steve Silberman. We are grateful for all of Steve's work on behalf of neurodiversity inclusion and are committed to following his legacy of advocacy toward a more inclusive future for all. Back in 2016, Steve was the keynote speaker at a panel discussion and resource fair at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, where Aspiritech was a sponsor for the event. Here are a few photos from that event. Shown with Steve is Aspiritech co-founder Brenda Weitzberg and long-time Aspiritech board member Ron Brix. #SteveSilberman #AutismAdvocacy #NeuroTribes #MayHisMemorybeABlessing #ActuallyAutistic

"In a survey of more than 1,200 U.S. employees, 57% said training in sensitivity around social differences would be valuable, and 56% said they would be interested in training on managing neurodivergent employees. However, only 14% percent said training is offered at their workplace." https://hubs.li/Q02MVtJy0 #Neurodivergent #AutismAtWork #SocialDifferences #AutisticAdults #AutismEmployment #DEI #Neurodiversity
Majority of US workers say they lack awareness of workplace neurodiversity

"It’s not about change. It’s about respect, consent, and sometimes trust. It’s also about not being so self-absorbed as to presume that anyone wants to automatically comply with something about which full disclosures and consent were never given." https://hubs.ly/Q02Jz7C40 #Autism #Neurodiversity #AutismAndChange #Routines #AspiritechBlog #Aspiritech #Neurodivergent
