Podcast – If you don’t mind me asking

In 2022, we spoke with Accessibility Go To Market Manager at Microsoft Michael Vermeersch. He talks about his career so far, life, insights from friends and family – and how the illuminating autism diagnosis he received led to a new level of self-advocacy.

Podcast – An introduction to autism in the workplace

In this episode, from 2018, Daniel Wiles and Michael Vermeersch discuss the barriers created in the workplace for people with autism. This episode covers:

  • Different ways of thinking – sequential and parallel thinking.
  • How to create the best environment for all employees to be at their best.
  • The barriers neurotypical people are unaware they create.
  • How changing structures can help neurodiverse employees.

Tune in to also hear about Michael’s presentation ‘If I can be myself I can be my best’ and how Microsoft’s diverse environment helped him improve things for disabled customers and employees.
