The Autism/Asperger community is full of talented, loyal individuals just waiting for businesses that are ready to take a chance on them. I specialize in creating job coaching goals and tailored plans to help integrate these dedicated workers into your team successfully.
My son, Christopher Manley, is on the spectrum. He’s graduated with an Associate’s Degree from Atlanta Metropolitan State College and a Bachelor’s Degree from Clayton State University. Despite these accomplishments, he continues to face challenges in finding the right opportunities. After working at the Clayton County Sheriff's Office in Warrants, he explored further education but struggled to find a good fit. Even finding a training program that collaborates with businesses for adults on the spectrum has been tough.
To those supporting someone on the spectrum—what happens to them when you are no longer around? I have linked my son below, but there are many others who are seeking the same opportunities. If you know a person who needs this same support or opportunity, please help them build a Linkedin Account and a resume or link their profile in the comment section with a statement about your experience.
To companies: Are you willing to start a program that could truly change lives for adults on the spectrum who are eager to learn and contribute? Let’s make it happen!
