A wonderful insight into promoting a neurodiverse world
by Patricia
Scott Robertson is a doctoral candidate at Penn State. He is also the cofounder of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
Mr. Robertson recently participated in a video interview series at Penn State called Conversations, and you can watch the interview here.
In his doctoral work, Mr. Robertson is assessing how online communities can support the transition from high school to university for individuals living with autism. What a cool topic!
The majority of his YouTube interview covers Mr. Robertson’s work in self-advocacy. He provides a great perspective on how society should “bend” to accommodate the unique needs of individuals living with autism, and he draws great parallels to ethnic, gender and LGBT diversity. Self advocates often provide wonderful insight into the world of living with autism, and Mr. Robertson provides just that in this interview promoting a neurodiverse world.
