The Shepherd Hotel in downtown Clemson, South Carolina is combining heartwarming hospitality with purpose by employing workers on the autism spectrum. One of those employees is Tanner, star of the hit Netflix series "Love on the Spectrum." The Shepherd Hotel owner Rick jokes that Tanner's fans have swarmed the hotel looking for him since his appearance on the show, and Tanner thanks Rick for giving him, and other people on the spectrum, an opportunity to find work and become financially independent. Watch till the end for a huge surprise for Tanner and Rick.

I think Chris at SBSK needs some credit for revealing the wonderful Tanner to the world long before Netflix did. That's where I discovered that wonderful guy. He really does bring nothing but joy to the world and we really need that right now.

The thing that really stands out to me here is that Kelly is conducting this interview, no differently than with any other guest. This seems so simple. But you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that talk down to people with disabilities or infantilize us. So happy to see this handled as the normal thing it is ❤️

I used to be a job coach for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and I can tell u that it can be a challenge to find employers willing to hire. And even when they do, sometimes it doesnt last long. And it has to be the right job. I had a client set on being a chef in a restaurant, but it really wasnt in their range of ability. That’s a difficult job for anyone. And some employers were not willing to budge even a bit; if he couldnt slice all the veggies in a consistent size, they let him go. Anyways, it really takes alot of persistence of matchmaking: the right job for the person and an employer who is willing to make reasonable accommodation.

I know a bakery in my area opened up because of this exact issue! Lots of people with disabilities want to work in a kitchen, so they made a bakery exclusively hiring those with disabilities to work! They are an amazing bakery / coffee shop and their sweets are delicious

I have a 33 year old son that received his autism diagnosis at the age of two. It is beyond heartwarming to see this young man (Tanner) thrive. Having said that, it breaks my heart that programs like this are few and far between for our most vulnerable adults on the autism spectrum. My son deserves to thrive and reach his potential too. 🥰❤️

❤ April is Disability Awareness month and April 2nd is National Autism Awareness day. As a Hispanic disabled woman with Spina Bifida, this segment means the absolute world to me. My goal and my mission is to spread as much knowledge about disability as possible. Thank you Kelly from the bottom of my little heart for what you're doing. People need to know that disability doesn't mean unable, it just means differently able. I send you a warm hug from a distance. May you and people like Rick and Tanner continue to shine on in all you do.xoxo

This is no disrespect to anyone but its going to have to wait until business can afford to do this again. At least in major cities, people with masters degrees cannot get hired at minimum wage jobs. So someone like myself, disabled, needing part time or "patience" is last last last. We need more bosses like that
