My Story
Founder and CEO of Autism Workforce Solutions
I’m Karina Gaudier, Founder and CEO of Autism Workforce Solutions. As an autistic professional, I know firsthand the barriers that exist in the job market. Despite my skills, education, and experience, I struggled to find employment in an environment that wasn’t built for neurodivergent individuals like me.
The hiring process was overwhelming, workplace expectations weren’t always clear, and employers often overlooked the strengths that come with being autistic—such as deep focus, innovative thinking, and problem-solving abilities. After facing these challenges, I realized that the system needed to change.
That’s why I created Autism Workforce Solutions—to bridge the gap between businesses and autistic professionals, ensuring that companies recognize the value of neurodiverse employees and implement the right strategies to support them.
