How Harry Learned Patience
Manage episode 378652049 series 3516347
Meet hosts Harrison Lane and Erin Schirm. Harrison received an autism diagnosis in elementary school and now works with employers to help them hire neurodiverse people. Erin leads Meristem–a non-profit day and independent living program for autistic and neurodiverse young adults. We cover:
- What Harrison does working with employers to build a culture that works for autistic people
- What Harrison learned through Meristem’s independent living program, including how to overcome frustrations in woodworking and metalworking classes and how to live with a roommate
- How to redesign job interviews for autistic and neurodiverse people to manage anxiety and demonstrate they have the skills to do the job
- How Harrison’s experience on a group craft project at Meristem taught him how to navigate workplace dynamics
We look forward to hearing from you what you’d like to hear from us in the future.
