Neurodiverse Negativity: Farage’s Harmful Comments
Update: 2025-05-20
Description
In the latest episode of The Diary of an HR Consultant, Victoria from Ambridge HR responds to recent remarks made by Nigel Farage about autism — and explains why businesses need to take neurodiversity seriously.
Farage’s suggestion that autistic individuals are “not quite normal” isn’t just outdated — it’s harmful. But rather than dwell on the controversy, this episode offers a constructive path forward.
Victoria explores:
- The value autistic individuals bring to the workplace
- How businesses can support them through inclusive recruitment and workplace adjustments
- Why this isn’t about being politically correct — it’s about good leadership, legal compliance, and unlocking talent.
If you're an HR professional, business leader, or simply care about fair workplaces, this is a must-listen.
