Package-Free Store Part & Parcel Offers Bulk Goods and Inclusive, Neurodiverse Employment
Long before the pandemic, Jonah Sanville knew what it was like to take off a mask at the end of the workday.
During their first few years in the workforce, Sanville, who has autism, was up front with employers about their neurodivergence. But after realizing that employers were unwilling to accommodate their needs as a disabled personâand that, once made aware of Sanvilleâs autism, they would often treat them worse than their neurotypical coworkersâSanville decided to do everything they could to conceal their disability.
âI did my very best to not be autistic,â Sanville says. âIt worked and worked until I couldnât pretend anymore. So then I would come out as autistic, or through my actions I would come out as autistic, and I would get treated poorly again.â
