The Fabulously Weird And
Wonderful... Charlie Hart
I suppose before we dive in, it would be really
good for you to just let everybody know who
you are, maybe a little bit about yourself and
the work that you do.
'm
Charlie
Hart.
My
pronouns
are
she/her/her/they/them. I'm an HR professional.
I'm in my late 40s. I spent 20 years being an HR
analyst because I got interested in HR. But then
the more analytical and project management
and data side of for a really long time, not
knowing that I was Autistic. It makes sense now
how I fell into the analytical side.
Five years ago, I found out that I was Autistic, so
September 2018, which was picked up because
it was picked up in my eldest child. And from
that time onwards, I then became really
passionate about diversity and inclusion. So
Autism became like a special interest to me. So I
found Actually Autistic Twitter and Facebook,
and then found out about neurodiversity and the
neurodiversity paradigm. So suddenly I've got a
new passion, and I was talking about it
whenever I could at work. Gradually my HR has
become... It's shifted from my main mission with
neurodiversity inclusion as my side quest and
more the other way around. So since June, I've
taken my Ausome Charlie that was social media
advocacy, and it's now my public limited
company and my brand.
I love the name as well.
Yeah, awesome, Charlie, with a A-U for Autistic.
You mentioned about going more into diversity
and inclusion on the HR consultancy side, yet I
also see the word
