Public speaking engagements from "summary" of Born On A Blue Day by Daniel Tammet
I have spoken at many events over the years. The first was at a school near London, where I talked to a group of teachers about my experiences as a person with Asperger's syndrome. It was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon found my rhythm and felt comfortable sharing my story with others. Since then, I have spoken at universities, conferences, and other venues, both in the UK and abroad. When I speak in public, I try to be as clear and concise as possible. I want my audience to understand what I am saying and to come away with a better understanding of Asperger's syndrome and how it affects me. I also try to be engaging and personable, so that people feel like they are having a conversation with me rather than just listening to a lecture. One of the challenges of public speaking is dealing with unexpected questions or reactions from the audience. Sometimes people will ask me things that I hadn't prepared for, or they will challenge me on something I have said. In these situations, I try to stay calm and respond thoughtfully, drawing on my knowledge and experience to address their concerns.- I find public speaking to be a rewarding experience. It allows me to share my story with a wider audience and to connect with people who may have had similar experiences. It also gives me the opportunity to educate others about Asperger's syndrome and to dispel myths and misconceptions about the condition. I hope that my talks inspire others to be more understanding and accepting of differences, and to embrace the diversity that makes us all unique.
