Championing Neurodiversity: Theo Smith on Inclusive Recruitment
“"Every single human being has their own individual brain, like a thumbprint, and we're going to treat them as human beings and we're not going to try and have this broad brush and these, um, you know, spikes in diversity just broadly."”
