On today’s episode we are excited to be joined by Matthew Bean! Matthew has been involved with Autism Matters for quite a while now and we are excited for him to share his story.
Matthew shares with us his experience as an autistic individual in the work force and the struggles that come along with that. He also shares what it’s like to buy a home and move away from his parents.
Despite all the anxiety that comes with his autism, Matthew wouldn’t trade it for anything! His autism has made him who he is and he loves being apart of the Autism Matters community! Here we offer 1:1 support partnerships where you lead the outcomes. No-one is "in charge.” Support is planned together and it focusses on what the autistic person wants and is aiming for, not what the neurotypical population sees as an issue needing to be fixed.
Return next time to hear part 2 of Matthew’s story!
