Autistic adulting job hunt hell? In this raw ramble on Adulting with Autism, host April (autistic OT) chats with social enterprise leader Brendon Eglinton (Australian Spatial Analytics/ASA) on flipping 34% autistic unemployment—80% neurodivergent team (75% under 30, 100+ clients, 10k hours/month) tackling geospatial/digital engineering gaps. L&D expert (20+ years banking/health/aged care), Brendon's model: On-the-job training (no rigid inductions—buddy support, project passion), pre-shared interview questions (fair fit, no "perform magic"), blended remote/office (commute burnout? Balanced weeks).

Transcript gems: Recruiting globally (apps via site—aptitude over degrees; probation "try before buy"), support via lived experience (individualized learning, "makes sense" motivation), low call-outs (peers/leaders explain purpose), and business advice (common-sense inclusivity: Share questions, tap strengths like pattern recognition—48% better, 92% productive/loyal). URL tie: ASA's onshore services (data sovereignty, no slavery risks), talent solutions (diverse hires boost culture), neurodiversity training (co-designed by analysts). For autistic young adults seeking STEM starts, parents advocating, or OT squad pushing workplaces, this is your 'what the actual?' opportunity toolkit—no traditional traps, just thriving ecosystems.
