DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by the Stanford CIO Council Neurodiversity in IT P
 rogram\n\nNeurodiversity is the range of common differences in thinking and
  behavior which we now understand to be normal variations in humans. This i
 ncludes conditions such as autism\, dyslexia\, ADHD\, and others. Neurodive
 rse variations have played a central role in the development of human socie
 ty\, yet neurodiverse people have been historically misunderstood and margi
 nalized as individuals.\n\nJoin us for this free 90-minute online lunch-and
 -learn educational webinar to gain a better understanding of neurodiversity
  and its role in society and within the workplace. In this session you will
  gain a basic awareness of neurodiversity and autism\, an understanding of 
 autistic traits with workplace relevance\, and tips for enabling autistic c
 olleagues to be effective in the workplace.\n\nWe will discuss how leading 
 companies foster neurodiversity to their advantage\, how increasing underst
 anding and acceptance of neuro differences is allowing more people to enter
  the workplace\, and what concrete steps each of us can take to better unde
 rstand and support neurodiverse colleagues.\n\nInstructors: Ranga Jayaraman
