Ask HN: Tech opportunities for neurodivergent people with learning difficulties
5 by CuriousRose | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I’m seeking advice on entry-level tech roles that are particularly well-suited for individuals with minor learning difficulties and/or autism. What roles or areas in tech have you found to be accommodating and supportive? Additionally, are there specific resources, tools, or communities that can help individuals with these challenges succeed in the tech industry? I'm asking on behalf of a family member that has just finished high school (18), with interest in tech. They are currently working through CompTIA A+ certification, with intention to get into a tech support role but we have concerns as they struggle with communication and that they take time to process complex requests or communicate clearly. As a result we are looking for some backup alternatives that play to their strengths like focus, structure, attention to detail and creativity. Thanks!
