How can we broaden our trust to include people who are different from ourselves?
I have been asked this question so many times. In homogeneous environments, it's easier to trust people because they behave, think, and learn like us. I think that expanding our trust means embracing those who do things differently. This isn't about insisting that our way is correct, but recognising that there are various ways, including those different from neurotypical methods. These diverse approaches can lead to outcomes better than we ever imagined, and there is loads of data out there to back this up.
