Episode 3 - Challenges & opportunities of autism in Product (with Marton Gaspar)
13 Sep 2020
An interview with Marton Gaspar, neuro-atypical product leader, advocate for autism awareness in the workplace, producer of a literally secret sauce. Marton talks about some of the challenges and benefits of autism in the workplace, how colleagues and hiring managers tend to treat autistic candidates, and how neurotypical people seem to autistic people.

- Dos and don'ts when dealing with autistic colleagues
- An insight into how he views neurotypical people through the lens of autism
