'Anyone can do anything they want to do': N.B. teen with autism finds success through transition to work program


 
FREDERICTON --
Oromocto High School student Owen Sprott has some big goals for after he graduates this June: get his drivers’ license, go to college, and continue woodworking.
The 18-year-old has autism, but that hasn’t stopped him from finding work through a New Brunswick Association for Community Living (NBACL) program.
And it’s a working relationship that’s done everyone a lot of good.
Sprott was matched with Kitchen Creations – a Fredericton cabinet maker – who hired Sprott on as a co-op student, despite a little apprehension at first.
“We didn’t quite know what to expect, but it’s been a really pleasant surprise,” said president of the company, Andy Bubar. “When Owen walks in every morning, he’s got this big smile on his face, that just lights up the entire shop. I think the other workers are seeing that and they’re actually, I think, drawing on that. It’s been an extremely positive experience for the whole organization.”
