I'm a professional
I am truly blessed to work in the field of autism. If you would have asked me 20 years ago what I would be doing now, autism would have never entered into the equation, but I am sure glad that it did. I hear people say all the time “I learn something new everyday,” but I can honestly say that I do because of knowing and working with people on the autism spectrum and their families. Everyday, I learn about myself and my relationships, and how easy it is to take for granted the simplest tasks and skills. I’ve learned about diversity and found that it’s “okay” to be different because, in our own special ways, we all are. I even take great pride in how different I am. I would have never learned these things if it were not for the work I do. I go to work everyday looking forward to the things I am going to learn and the new people I am going to meet. Not many people can say this, but I can: I love my job and now could not imagine doing anything else.
