  • There has been a shift in the vision of Aspect from seeing autism as a deficit to celebrating the strengths, interests and aspirations of people in the spectrum
  • Leaders can be supportive and collegial with their staff but should not be “friends”. Relationships have to be strictly professional. Familiarity makes it difficult to exercise authority
  • Four questions to ask when decisions have to be made: What would happen if you do? What would happen if you don’t? What wouldn't happen if you do? What wouldn't happen if you don’t?
  • When it comes to the recruitment of people with a disability either use an agency that specializes in this kind of recruitments or modify your own recruitment process and recognise you may have to make accommodations in
  • Work with the person on what you are going to tell the people who they work with to help build awareness and understanding
