Getting a job shouldn't be about who you know. It should be about what you know.
More than 80% of autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed. Not because they can't do the work, but because hiring rewards social skills over real ability. We're here to change that.
How we help
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit striving for social justice through autistic employment. Here is how we do it.
Job Coaching
We sponsor life-changing job coaching for neurodiverse individuals.
Funding Research
We fund academic, scientific research to advance what we know about autism, adults, and work.
Help us welcome everyone to the table.
It's time for those of us who aren't on the spectrum to do more than get out of the way. We need to welcome a different kind of brain and make room at the table, in all types of jobs. It's time for meaningful change.
