## Resource

Brian Rescino, a young autistic man juggling multiple customer service jobs and living independently, faces relentless barriers in the job market—getting interviews but no follow-ups, leaving him feeling invisible. He’s not alone: CDC data shows alarmingly high unemployment among autistic individuals, echoed by Christina Walker, who struggled with overwhelming roles and rejection, wondering if her ADHD and autism were the reason. The root problem? Most hiring managers lack neurodiversity training, leading to miscommunication, mismatched roles, and missed opportunities. Yet hope exists: Corey’s Closet offers structured, supportive employment with job coaches and gradual integration, helping Christina thrive in a nurturing environment. Brian, too, finds strength in mentors like his at Red Arrow Diner, pushing toward his goal of data entry—a role that suits his detail-oriented nature. His story—and others like it—demand employers simply give everyone a fair shot. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
