In this episode, Jean and Brittney sit down with Jacob Blaeser from Ventures ATL to talk about employment opportunities for autistic and neurodiverse adults—and why the traditional workforce often gets it wrong.

We discuss the unemployment gap in the neurodiverse community, how Ventures ATL approaches direct employment and support, and what redefining success in the workplace really looks like. Jacob also shares insights on hiring for potential, navigating the transition to adulthood, and the importance of community, communication, and human connection at work.

This conversation is honest, hopeful, and a reminder that meaningful employment is possible when inclusion is intentional.
