Sometimes, getting an autism diagnosis isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the beginning of understanding what you need to thrive.
After recently receiving his autism diagnosis, Shaun came to Stride for support. Like many people, he found himself asking an important question… what comes next?
For Shaun, that meant taking some time away from work to better understand himself, his strengths, and what he needed from his next role.
Our role was to get to know Shaun as an individual and understand what the right working environment would look like for him.
"From my first meeting with Mykell, where we talked through my ambitions and what I was looking for, the whole process felt straightforward and supportive. Stride took the time to understand me as a person before introducing me to Pass Logistics, and from the interview through to starting work, everything ran really smoothly.” - Shaun.
We’re incredibly proud to have supported Shaun into a role with local company Pass Logistics and, honestly, what a result!
Shaun has settled into his role brilliantly and is absolutely smashing it, but the support hasn’t stopped there.
“Every three weeks we catch up with Mykell to review progress, set new goals and discuss how we can continue supporting Shaun from a neurodivergent perspective. Having that ongoing partnership has been invaluable and has given us confidence that we're providing the right support as Shaun continues to develop within the business.” - Alex, Job Coach at Pass Logistics.
“This is the first time I've genuinely enjoyed going to work. I feel understood, trusted and valued, and I'm able to focus on what I do best without feeling micromanaged. It's made a huge difference to both my confidence and my enjoyment of work. I feel understood, trusted and valued.” - Shaun
That’s exactly what we want every person we support to feel in the workplace.
A huge well done to Shaun for taking that next step, and to Pass Logistics for creating an environment where he can be himself, play to his strengths, and thrive. 👏
