Members of the autistic and neurodivergent community at Specialisterne NI will ask Peter questions related to autistic wellbeing and happiness, and will share perspectives of what has helped members of the autistic and neurodivergent community at Specialisterne NI experience wellbeing, secure and progress in careers, and to feel more part of workplace communities across N Ireland.
