Tim talks with Dr Romas about a number of items and issues dealing with the neurodiverse, having Asperger's, and Autism at Work. Tim's focus is supporting the diagnosed, undiagnosed, and unaware technology worker by helping companies become more "A"SD Lister friendly.

Through simple changes in processes, job duties, and management techniques companies can improve the performance, retention, and recruitment of the highly desired neurodiverse techie.

This was an extra special opportunity for me. Beyond the obvious reasons, I grew up in central NY not all that far from Cornell. Teaching at an institution which has been a big name since I was old enough to hear about colleges was extra satisfying. On top of that, some of the chapters from my "Geeks Guide to Interviews: 15 Critical Items for the Technical Type" and some units from my online course "Communicating with the Technical for the Non-Technical" were used as part of the course material.

Professor Bruyère recruited a list of international leaders in the Autism at Work effort. Guest speakers are James Mahoney Chief Quality Officer& Executive Director and Head of Autism at Work JPMorgan Chase & Co, David Kasiarz Senior Vice...

Tim Goldstein was invited to speak to the Colorado Chapter of SIM (Society of Information Managers). SIM's members are primarily senior executives in the computer technology sectors. There were about 40 members present and I was given a TED talk length slot to introduce them to 

There were about 40 members present. I was given a TED talk length slot to introduce them to Neurodiversity, Autism at Work efforts, and how a Neurodiversity Communication Specialist can help them. Not just with new efforts, but to support, engage, and retain those "A"SD Listers already in your companies. Lots to pack into a short time.

I think you will learn some solid ideas you can implement immediately.

[00:00:01] I was sitting outside the parking lot of work and sitting in my car and I'm holding my phone and shaking and I don't know what the heck to do and I don't even know what really went on at that point. And I'm trying to think who should I call what should I do and I...

Had a great time recording this podcast. The host is Mark Sylvester. He was cofounder of the company that did Disney's 1st animation. They went on to create the software that revolutionized animated films. He is very involved and connected with the people driving the development and economic growth of the 805 area code of California.

The discussion revolves around my view and perspective as a person with Asperger's working in the high tech world. I think you will find lots of Ah Ha moments where my unique perspective helps you make sense of past interactions.

Had the wonderful opportunity to speak to about 40 members of the Denver Microsoft SQL Server Users Group. I was an extra pleasure as this was the users group where I learned many of my skills before there was Google.

My concepts are based on neurodiversity and more common neurotypicals are the non-tech interviewers. As in my Alien Multiverse concept, the perceiving and processing differences are so great, we can't understand them. I teach to accept them as aliens and learn what the aliens like and don't like. Then do that, regardless of how silly or stupid it seems in your universe.

This presentation was an expansion on a number of topics covered in my book "Geeks Guide to Interviews: 15 Critical Items for the Technical Type".

Due to some technical issues, Tim forgot to turn the camera on the tripod on, there is no audio or video record of this talk. But there are some pictures a few of which I have included here.

While talking to this technical a group about doing...
