About Me

#ActuallyAutistic

I am an autistic individual seeking employment with a job I can perform well at as well as grow within. I love to be creative and learn new skills or information, which I feel would be an amazing skillset to bring to any sort of work environment. While I do have some sensitivities, as long as those are managed well I'm able to complete any and all tasks required of me, frequently exceeding expectations provided I'm in a proper work environment.

Ideal Workplace Values

I enjoy working within a structured environment that provides clear instructions and expectations while still allowing me to be creative and flourish. Working autonomously isn't an issue for me, provided I've received thorough instructions about what is expected of me.

Skills & Strengths

Neuroexceptional Talents

I have incredibly strong pattern recognition and an ability to quickly pick up on new systems. My ability to put words together and to create is also something I'm very proud of, as I'm mostly self taught in those regards.
