Door 1 opens to reveal the neurodiversity symbol of an infinity symbol in rainbow colours

Vera Herzmann during the keynoteI really enjoy keynotes at DrupalCon, particularly those given by guests from outside the Drupal community. This year’s European DrupalCon in Vienna was no exception, and I think Vera Herzmann’s talk on Neurodiversity resonated with everyone present.

I loved how she highlighted neurodiverse people are not disabled or a problem to be solved, but people with superpowers valuable to business, and an asset to be cherished.

She also really engaged with the audience, giving us items to discuss with the people nearby, and I think the audience came back with some excellent points.

The video of her keynote is here:

Vera also has some great podcasts that I’ve started listening to, as well as some books that might make it on to my Christmas list! You can check them out here.
