Self-Advocates and Employment

Self-Advocates and Employment

Getting a job is an exciting process for anyone. It is the beginning of a new chapter in a person’s life, as individuals get out into the community and build life skills. Autonomy includes making money and being able to manage it towards short/long term goals. Being able to access things that you desire and/or need gives you a sense of gaining independence. For individuals with autism, it can be exciting, overwhelming and scary at the same time.

Our facilitator has an incredible discussion with three autistic self-advocates. Listen to how they share their personal insights and wisdom regarding the process of getting a job, and the obstacles they faced along the way.

Please join us in this discussion and learn about the ups and downs we all face when it comes to getting a job, and the responsibilities associated with the process whether or not you have autism.
