This is so helpful and exactly what I needed to see. I’ve been reaching out and applying to no avail and as a single mom I NEED something pronto, but with my neurodivergence I can’t work full time and can only do certain types of jobs. As a former journalist and experienced copywriter, I didn’t think it would be is hard to find work within this realm, but damn. It is. My dream is to write for an Autism organization of some sort, like be their content writer for socials, blogs, web, newsletters, emails, etc. I thought I’d be easily accepted and welcomed with open arms because I’m autistic, and a great writer - no-brainer, right? Wrong. I feel I’m facing more barriers than ever and it’s just so frustrating and demoralizing. Thank you for this post. I absolutely love what you stand for.
I feel your pain so much. And plus this job market is absolute sh*t! We should set up a meet and greet and I can see how I might be able to help you! There are also companies who have programs dedicated to hiring neurodiverse candidates. Where are you located? Send me an email and I will send you an invite for a no strings attached chat. It will be helpful for me to know what other resources will be good to provide on here for you and others. hello@benfordtalentalchemy.com❤️Jen
I’m in Canada! And I would absolutely love that, thank you so much. Just the notion that someone would reach out and talk to me about this is bringing tears to my eyes. I’ll email you!

I should add that though I’m in Canada, with writing I’m not held back by location as long as the position allows for remote work!
Yay!! Can to speak - got your email ❤️ I am in the US (north carolina)
