Episode 7 – Work Episode

In this special themed episode, Odai looks at the world of work from an autistic perspective. With stories from Sarah, Savva and Cee, Odai considers what life in a neurotypical workplace is like for an autistic person. Sarah and Odai then interview Cee about their special interest in labour market policy, and life as a civil servant for a government department.

Apologies for the delayed return, it was all Sarah’s fault. She’s very sorry.
