Fox News: Young man with autism moves LinkedIn with candid cover letter: ‘Take a chance on me’

It’s a full time job to find a job, but one young man with autism knew just what to say in a candid cover letter that’s struck a chord on LinkedIn.

In an open letter shared to the career site two weeks ago, Ryan Lowry of Virginia explained that he has autism, and a great sense of humor, proclivities for math and technology, and a tireless work ethic. Since the 20-year-old Leesburg man penned the piece last month, his post has gone viral with over six million views and 172,000 likes, WJLA reports.
