Ed Thompson of Uptimize and Tim Goldstein have deep roots together. They first met back in the mid 20-teens at a SAP Autism at Work conference which was a major event in the birthing of the autism and now neurodiversity at work movement. They hit it off quite well. Even though Ed was living in London and Tim near Denver Colorado they were able to build a relationship as Ed was a frequent visitor to Denver to visit the lady who is now his wife.
Over the years Ed and Tim have collaborated in many ways supporting each other as neurodiversity grew and their prominence in the community rose. They have helped at each other's booths at conferences pre-COVID, shared advice, recorded video training and tips, and participated in client engagement together.
Now that Ed is married, has a child, dog, and a house in the suburbs about 20 minutes from Tim, growth in their individual neurodiversity at work efforts and family demands combined with COVID has caused them to get together just to chat far less then either would like. In this fireside chat webinar Ed and Tim discuss aspects of how they see the neurodiversity movement evolving as they catch up with each other.
