Finding a job may seem pretty straightforward – update your resume, fill out an application, interview for the job. However, if you’re one of the estimated 3.5 million Americans with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), it’s not that simple.
For many high-functioning young adults with autism, it is not a lack of intelligence or ability but rather a lack of training, education and social support that limits their futures.
That’s where Social Motion Inc., a Houston-based nonprofit, and FedEx Ground stepped in to help. Founded in 2010 by Wendy Dawson, Social Motion Inc. provides solutions for families and corporations dealing with autism, ADHD and similar social challenges.
