  2. Caution: Misinfo!

    George Orwell wasn't a fan of names, so he didn't give his son a name and nobody ever called Orwell 'George'. Sometimes though people would say something about the family, the 'Orwells' or about 'Orwell's' works. So the son assumed his fathers name was 'Or Welles'. That's how he came to the name Orson Welles.

    At least that's my mnemonic to let my dyslexic brain remember who of the two was born first.

  3. Research into MBTI® type, neurodivergence, and neurodiversity - A report from The Myers-Briggs Company [2024]

    This seems to be an interesting and quite recent study that differenciates [in a very respectful way!] between participants that self-diagnosed and those who have an externally validated diagnose.

  5. Neurodivergent people have much to offer and should be included in policy and legislation discussions among other things. Different thinking brings new ideas for a broader, more enlightened view. Remember when the world was thought to be flat?

    E.A.R.N. - The Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion provides a "Toolkit" educating employers about Neurodivergent Thinkers and the unique value they bring. The guide linked below includes a lot of info encouraging the hiring and accommodation of neurodivergent individuals.

    From the EARN page:
    "In 2019, the Employer Roundtable published the “Autism @ Work Playbook” ...to help employers explore innovative approaches to finding, recruiting, hiring and supporting neurodivergent workers."

    Thanks to EARN for their part in helping to #TearDownTheWall. Without #NeurodivergentThinking, there would be no light bulbs, spaceflight, or internet. There would be no Star Trek communicator to inspire the mobile phone. If one day, we can use our phones to say "beam me up", Neurodivergent Thinkers will likely "energize" that advancement as well.
