On this episode, I discuss and elaborate on the stigma that people on the spectrum cannot get a job or have a career. I also give tips and tricks on how a person on the spectrum should act in the workplace and why this may not come so easy to everyone. In turn, I give advice to employers what to consider and what to think about when hiring someone on the spectrum. Wait though there is more! I also go into detail on why doing hard work and obtaining job skills can teach some one on the spectrum the way of life, in out of the workplace.

OWWW! You need a paper and pencil for this one everyone! If you follow my instructions, you could win a gift card, a t-shirt, or car decals. I really had to do that because today we are talking about funk music and how it relates to autism. There is more to funk then just dancing along with the fun beats. To me, it is a fun way to describe how someone on the autism spectrum works and how they function. This one is a fun episode with singing, getting funky, and of course, talking about autism.
Note: Instead of publishing every 16 days, I am now doing it every 13 days due to multiple sponsorships.
