Thomas Henley is the founder of the Thoughty Auti Podcast and the Aspergers Growth channel, both media hubs for teaching others about autism and mental health. With a wealth of experience in public advocacy and local media, Thomas inspires autistic individuals across the globe with his athletic endeavors, personal experiences and scientific insights.

In this episode, Thomas talks to Barry Aldridge (@barryaldridge1983) about his experiences in the workplace and some of the benefits and difficulties of being autistic in those settings. What common issues arise in the workplace or learning environments? In what ways can you cope with these problems, and which mindsets are beneficial in those scenarios? How can society change to better accommodate and include autistic people in the workplace?

We chat about our shared opinions on things such as 'jazz hands' instead of clapping at my student union, the FMV games Barry has been involved in with Tayanna Studios, and even his experiences as an old-school YouTuber back in the day!

We are currently over a month into isolation, and although I'm very bogged down in promoting my new documentary 'Aspergers In Society'... I will be trying my very best to keep putting out content (Albeit, late in this case)!
