.. spoiler alert - definitely.
In fact, why not? This question should be flipped, I think, to anyone who finds it weird, childish or distracting.
Ask yourself this - ‘is the adult using that gadget deliberately trying to seek attention do you feel or disrespecting the person holding that meeting?
Passive listening still hasn’t moved in most places - sit in lines, close together, stare at the front to show your engaged… sit still! NOPE.
I was at an industry diversity and inclusion event this week which had the exact same format whilst folks at the front talked about how they created neurodivergent friendly spaces..
We’ve a long way to go.
Realise that not everyone listens in the same way and that you’re guaging engagement wrong if you don’t; Eye contact, fidgeting, sitting down… it’s all getting reviewed thankfully.
Imagine how much info has not been received due to this one trick approach over the years!! 😱
Get fidgeting, find yours today on www.NeuroCandy.co.uk.
Glad to have you here :)
