Mark, why are you ready to work?
For me, working and having a career is about having a good quality of life and having purpose. I want to get out and meet new people, do new activities and learn new things. I’m ready to be more independent and make my own money without having to rely on benefits.
What makes you different?
My very good memory makes me unique. I pay close attention to everything and can remember specific details and information about matters when others might not. This makes me a very quick learner and I can quickly get used to new tasks or opportunities.
Tell us about your journey to employment so far.
I’m on the autism spectrum and I have found it difficult to find work because of this. That’s not right though. I want to see everyone with autism get the career they want to have.
