From identifying one's skills and passions to understanding which employers could be a good fit to interviewing, landing the job and surviving the workplace, Barbara Bissonnette can help.

Barbara Bissonnette is a certified coach and the Principal of Forward Motion Coaching, which provides career development, job coaching and workplace advocacy for individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome (and similar autism spectrum profiles) and Nonverbal Learning Disorder.

What's also helpful, and needed these days, is Bissonnette's consultation and training services for organizations regarding how to utilize the skills of autistic employees and others with social, communication and executive function challenges. 

Many autistic individuals often find it beneficial to have a guide or coach to engage with on their career journey.

Also, more and more businesses and organizations are recognizing the talent in the autistic community.
