Finding and keeping a job you love is not easy for anyone, but particularly for those with Autism. In this episode we talk with Boaz Santiago about how self employment could be a pathway for some people with Autism in finding and keeping a job they love. Boaz is the co-founder of PicEin Works, an organization that provides individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to obtain meaningful employment by pursuing their passions. Autism Stories connects you with amazing people who are helping teens and adults with Autism become more independent and successful.
