Massive respect to this man, even if his books weren’t great he showed how neurodiversity can be an asset not a curse and delivered one of the best pitches I’ve ever seen!

@user-oe1mb9hu9i 4 ай бұрын

If he did have neurodiversity he wouldn't (simply couldn't) be standing there on TV. Too many creeps going aeound claiming disability. All he's doing is selling clothes - the reason he can't grow anymore is that ALL the clothes makers ALREADY make XL, XXL and XXXL clothing. He's created nothing new and certainly not a USP by patting himself on the back and telling everyone and anyone that he suffers from autism. LOL.

@@jolin8493 They have to make up some sort of story to try and get the people's attention, so how's about strongly exaggerating some small mishap that some fool doctor diagnosed for lack of anything else. Pitiful. But hey: He came ion for an investment and he got one. It's all in the art of selling your story and making it "credible". Nothing else.

Stigma going away finally. Whilst some neurodivergent people can unfortunately be a ‘burden’ to a company and sometimes hired just to fill quotas. Others can perform much better than colleagues with the correct support in place.

He is autistic but presented perfectly much better than I would and remembered all his numbers, they often say it's people with some sort of disabilities that are amazing at other things

That's because autism at this level is hardly a disability - it's just a behaviorial difference. Like someone might be inclined to aggression, or a crybaby.

My grandson has WAGR syndrome and autism. I love him to bits and I’m always impressed by his view on life and how he sees things so differently . The only thing that I absolutely infuriates me is when adults who should know better and kids bully him. If Granny ever gets to witness this ,then I wouldn’t like to be in their shoes!
