About this listen
🎙️ In this episode of Intersecting Voices, Chris Niklasson opens up about life on the margins — navigating autism without an official diagnosis, facing racism and bias in the job market, and enduring 1.5 years of homelessness while trying to survive and build a better future.
💡 Chris shares:
How autism shows up for him — from photographic memory to social challenges
The emotional and practical toll of masking to fit in
The barriers to getting a formal diagnosis and why it matters
The impact of systemic failures — from social insurance to hiring discrimination
Why he started his own marketing company to create the inclusive workplace he’s never had
This conversation is honest, powerful, and deeply human — especially if you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the system you’re expected to thrive in.
🎧 Tune in to better understand the intersection of autism, identity, job insecurity, and hope.
