A Journey of Language, Growth, and Autism Perspectives: Stephen’s Evolution

How I Avoided Unsuitable Job Roles


Listen Later

Join me on my latest episode, as I recount the start of my journey through the job market as an autistic individual. By focusing on my exceptional keyboard skills, I discovered roles like data entry where I not only thrived but also found a profound sense of fulfilment. This episode consists of personal insights and practical strategies to help you try and identify jobs that may suit your unique strengths, sidestepping the stress of positions demanding more in the way of social interaction.

Reflecting on what truly makes us excel, I encourage you to assess your own capabilities or those of someone who you may support. By doing this, I believe one can uncover their own paths to career success that are often overlooked. Share your stories and thoughts by texting my podcast, details of which you'll find in the episode's description on Buzzsprout. And don't miss out on future episodes—subscribe through the Stay in the Loop link at stephensevolution.com. In two weeks, I aim to tackle how to decode what I thought was vague language in job descriptions. Let's help to pave the way for a more inclusive and supportive work environment for everyone on the autism spectrum.

For more information on suitable job roles for those on the autism spectrum, see this earlier blog post of mine here.
