On this episode of Neurodivergent Mates, I’m excited to sit down with Vicky Little, Chief Operating Officer at Specialisterne Australia! With over 17 years of experience in autism and neurodivergent employment across Australia and the UK, Vicky is a passionate disability trainer and advocate who’s transforming how organisations engage with neurodivergent talent.

From developing autism-specific transition programs at the National Autistic Society in London to launching NSW’s first autism-specific employment service, Aspect Capable, Vicky’s journey is both inspiring and impactful. Now, at Specialisterne Australia, she’s leading efforts to create alternative recruitment pathways, helping businesses unlock the unique strengths of autistic individuals and embrace the autism advantage.
