It is that sudden change: my usual ways of communicating with people, because I like to use my hands when I'm talking and I like to doodle when I'm talking, and usual things that I do and drawing using diagrams to explain things I couldn't do because at the time I wasn't skilled enough on technology.
Simon Preston's life took a heart-wrenching turn with the loss of his 3-year-old daughter. Now, he's channeling his grief into a powerful advocacy for neurodiversity in the workplace.
