People will have increasingly heard the term Neurodiversity. Some may know what it means but many are still unsure or scared to ask. In my talk I try to explain the basics of Neurodiversity, dispell some common misconceptions and give some of my own experiences. I will also give you some ideas for how to accommodate Neurodivergent people and where to look for support.

Scott is an experienced battery scientist, science communicator, budding entrepreneur and Neurodiversity advocate. He has worked in academia, RTOs and an SME on a broad range of battery chemistries and applications. He is presently exploring his own ventures in a variety of sectors under the branding “Watts Up With…?”. Scott is Neurodivergent. He has Autism, Dyslexia and (pending diagnosis) ADHD . This combination of traits and experiences gives him a deep understanding of what it is like to be a Neurodivergent individual in academic/work environments.
