He was helped into the job by Doncaster-based Employment Support which helps people with autism and Aspergers into the world of work.Jenny Candler, who set up the organisation after her own son was diagnosed with autism, said: "Luke has worked exceptionally hard to gain a good education, but due to his Aspergers, he has struggled to find an understanding, inclusive workplace."With the support of our psychology based job coach and all the amazing staff at Trador, Luke is on his way to a successful career path in admin."He will be taking over Trador's social media pages among other admin roles and he couldn't be more excited about this opportunity. We wish him all the success in the world."

Jenny set up the agency after her son Adrian, 14, was diagnosed with autism and it encouraged her to help others in a similar position.

The West Stockwith-based mum set up the agency which offers coaching, mentoring and support for people diagnosed with a learning or social disability, as well as their employers, families and other support networks.

Her organisation www.employmentsupport.org helps to promote personal independence and workplace inclusion in and around Doncaster.
