The moving letter from a young man with autism who has conquered Microsoft and Amazon

His name is Ryan Lowry, is 19 years old and is the last sensation of LinkedIn. Three weeks ago, this young man from Leesburg (United States) made the decision to write a brave letter in this social network for your future boss. Nobody around him thought he was capable of doing something like that. In fact, his father, Rob, opened an account for him to start making professional contacts within the sector that interested him the most. The effect has been thunderous: seven million impressions, 6,000 comments and dozens of job offers.

Ryan was diagnosed with autism when he was just 18 months old. Since then, communication and social relationships have been two of the weaknesses that he has had to face. Therefore, this letter has generated such an impact.

“Have autism. I also have a great sense of humor, I have a gift for mathematics. I am very good with technology and I learn very quickly. I am interested in a job in animation or systems. I am aware that someone like you can give me a chance, I don’t learn like other people. I will need a mentor to teach me, but I am a quick learner. Once they explain it to me, I have it. I promise that if you hire me and teach me, you will be glad you did ”, the young man writes in his post, where other people with autism have also wanted to share their cases.
