    Embarking on a journey from eager coder to independent freelancer, our returning guest Oluwaseye lays out the blueprint for navigating the tech world while honouring their neurodiversity. They delve into the nuances of building a thriving client base, crafting a website for an online service business, and balancing freelance work with their unique needs. This episode promises a roadmap for those seeking to marry their personal aspirations with their professional pursuits, all while defying the traditional job hunt in favour of self-sufficiency.

    There are two points of note in finding a spouse. Firstly, having a relationship with God can be highly beneficial; Oluwaseye had asked God for the kind of spouse he wanted and Sarah was exactly what he prayed for. Secondly, finding a good church is another important aspect. Some churches may not be a good fit as was our guest's experience until Sarah invited him to a more welcoming church. A lot of these shortcomings are simply because of the human flaws of the people running the church.

    Some of the negatives of autism in Oluwaseye's experience include depression, vulnerability to bad friends, and difficulty being understood. Some of the positives are his marriage, his friendships, and his closeness to God.

    Finally, we turn the spotlight on the Autistic Black Coders initiative, a testament to the power of community and the importance of mentorship in forging a tech career that aligns with one's true calling. From project management to customer success, the opportunities for neurodiverse individuals in tech are vast and varied.
