The world’s conditions during the pandemic have been overwhelming to all youth including Neuerodiverse and students on the Autism Spectrum. It has been a rough two years and it isn’t over. Students and young adults have taken a hit and some have false beliefs they aren’t good enough or smart enough.
Don’t allow youth to get apathetic. ‘Bright spots’ can help youth gain courage to look ahead to see options that might become a solution for a future with a satisfying career. ‘Bright spots’are something good that occurs during a bad or difficult time.
Youth and young adults need ‘Bright spots’ to know what stirs their heart, what draws their attention, and the skills that help them thrive.
The Marquette Strengths and Career Index (MSCI) offers every student ‘bright spots’.
Each MSCI scenario based question falls into one of four different kinds of strengths. Strengths definition to the student:
- You are good at doing something or have the potential to be good at developing. (‘bright spots’)
- You are energized when using a strength, or you are at ease and focused when using a strength to perform a task. (‘bright spots’)
- You benefit in someway using your strength:
a) enjoy creating, or uplifted while doing a task, (‘bright spots’)
b) use a calm structure that is self-motivating, (‘bright spots’)
c) use a tool to help self-regulate and emotionally adapt, (‘bright spots’)
d) earn a degree or earn an income.(‘bright spots’)
4) Using your strength gives benefit to others, which is greater than yourself: workplace, community, or family. (‘bright spots’)
The MSCI offers the student options from nearly 500 jobs and careers options within these areas: college, certification, high school degree, part-time, and volunteer or hobby.

“An important offering to the Neurodiversity, career and self-empowerment literature. I believe the Marquette Strengths and Career Index… should be introduced as part of school transition planning starting in early adolescence.”

Jackie’s bio
All student resources including the Marquette Strengths and Career Index (MSCI) are science-based and among my closest and truest tools to promote inner security for the student seeking a career and life adaptation. I invite youth who are autistic, Neurodiverse, or anyone who wants to be seen for their strengths, capabilities, and innovations, to try them.
I’m a lifelong educator and parent to Trent, my autistic son and walked for decades (and still walking) through environments of attitudinal barriers to help prepare my students, clients, and my son for career success. Over the years, I learned how to pave pathways and created these tools for teens and young adults to use so they can see the value of their strengths, and practice skills that increase emotional adaptation and resiliency in daily and career life.
For all persons struggling emotionally and socially, and for supportive inclusive leaders, professionals and parents, these resources are like having a one-of-a-kind map in your pocket with a personal mentor all rolled into one.

Jackie’s proprietary program the S.A.F.E.T.Y. Works© is engineered to be a catalyst for Inclusive Leaders, i.e., school personnel, counselors, company leaders on the behalf of the employment of youth with Autism Spectrum. When leaders understand how Neurodiverse persons have much value to offer a business, they will get some of the best employees. Inclusive Leaders must also understand their challenges and strengths and how important adaptive environments are to the employee’s on-the-job success.
