Charlotte Valeur, a former Institute of Directors chair diagnosed with autism in her 50s, is launching a campaign for more inclusion - Financial Times
She was diagnosed at age 51 at the suggestion of a friend and scored “quite high”. She has chaired the board of directors of several companies where her pattern seeing skills has proved useful dispite her “Danish bluntness”. She has launched the Institute of Neurodiversity. She is studying the success of LBGT+ advocacy. The biggest obstacle she sees is the reluctance of non visible autistics to come out, an issue she had.
