Luxx Body Beauty

By obtaining work experience, we can develop unique skills, gain independence, and become part of a greater community. However, only 7% of autistic people are employed, and many who are employed are paid minimum wage and given little flexibility or opportunities to advance in their field. Autistic people are trying to change that. Me, who is on the autism spectrum, and my family, were aware of the lack of employment opportunities available for autistic people. In response, I created and founded my own small business, Luxx Body Beauty. It gives young adults with disabilities the chance to be a part of the community, build self-esteem, and become financially independent. Only I and my friend, who is autistic, are employed right now, but with your support, my small business will expand and recruit additional individuals with disabilities.
