Can you guess which employee lives on the Autism Spectrum?
Recent statistics indicate that as many as
1 in 52 North Americans lives on the Autism Spectrum.
Chances are right now, you are working with at least one person who lives with Autism, Asperger's or Non Verbal Disorder.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a title used to describe an 'invisible disability'. More often than not, people living on the spectrum attempt to hide the diagnosis from employers and co-workers fearing the stigma of popular opinion.
Unfortunately, the nature of the condition makes it hard to hide, and even if a person does disclose that they have this type of disability, most managers, supervisors and HR personnel have no idea how to make appropriate accommodations.
WHO WE WORK WITH

TAKE ACTION
Often, what appears to be an attitude problem in a high value employee is really a communication problem.
My vision is to help create an inclusive world where both employers and individuals living on the Autism Spectrum fully realize their employment potential.

TESTIMONIALS
“The program has taught me how to retain employment by understanding that not everything is done the same as past places I have worked in and to accept that change is good and beneficial sometimes. The thing that stuck out to me about the program was that they understood the way I thought and helped me … understand the way [my employer] wanted the project or reports to be done and help avoid confusion over the difference between positive, negative and neutral feedback. The program was a great in helping me keep a job that I love going to every day with a company that I enjoy working at.”
“Brilliant speaker. The presentation was excellent in all respects. Great audience engagement and knowledge of topic!”
“So when (the employee) first started here, it was a little rocky at first, but Sarah counselled him and supported me…and he’s turned out to be one of our top performing computer technicians. He takes work home in the evenings…he has fixed several computers that we thought were unfixable”
