A LEGO®part dealer company puts autism in spotlight.

2.5 years ago I started working at a company which has changed so many things in my life so far for the better, in ways I could never have imagined. It’s time to bring this change to you.

The first one was probably that when I started to tell people where I work, they were all amazed. A little confused but still, amazed. When you tell people that you’re working at a LEGO® part dealer company, their first reaction is something like this:

“LEGO®? Oh, man, that’s so cool! Tell me, what do you do exactly at a company like this?”

It’s a small niche in the world so don’t worry if you’re confused at first. LEGO® has a secondary market where everyone (and I mean everyone; even you) can sell their LEGO® parts — new or used, it’s up to you. There are two online marketplaces where you can do this: Bricklink and Brickowl. We have a store called WE LOVE WHAT YOU BUILD (WLWYB) on both sites, where you can choose from appr. 10,000 different brand new and genuine LEGO® parts. And that’s not all. We’ve been working on a new site which makes it possible for any LEGO® lover who brings their ideas to life with LEGO® to sell their own creations to anyone in the world and it’s called MOCHUB.

I know, it is very real and it is very cool.

And the change we bring to you? After 2 years of hard work we can finally make a dream come true: we became an autism specific workplace. People from the autism spectrum have remarkable skills and many of us oversee their potential just because the way we see them.

I welcome you to my blog as the HR manager of this very cool company, to share our journey on how we are becoming a workplace that nourishes neurodiversity.
