For Brennan Novak, who is autistic and suffers from severe anxiety, finding a workplace that fits his personal needs while allowing him to tap into his talent with technology may sound like a long shot. But thanks to AutonomyWorks, a company devoted to creating job opportunities for people with autism, Novak is not only employed, he’s thriving.
“I had graduated from high school and was attending a transition program, where I was having a tough time with college and my high anxiety,” Novak says. “I joined one of AutonomyWorks’ job shadows, and the work I did clicked with me and gave me hope of finding a place I belonged.”
