Only six years ago, Candi Gennaro learned that she is autistic. At that time, she didn’t know much about the invisible disability. Understanding her autism meant discovering herself and understanding all the benefits that come along with the challenge it brings to her life. Today, she is using her strengths to advocate for the needs of the neurodiverse community and is even helping our company to build a more inclusive workplace.
My personal brand of autism allows me to view obstacles as opportunities.
