Director And Founder
CurrentI the Founder and Executive Director of Asperger Works Inc. An early-stage startup non-profit focusing on solving the employment problem a great number of adults with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and other autism spectrum disorders cope with. Those with AS are willing and able to work but challenges like conducting a job search, managing a professional network, and navigating the social environment of the workplace put them at a great disadvantage. We want to work with both employees and employers to break down barriers to success.Putting Autism To WorkMore than a slogan, it's what we will do. We put adults with autism spectrum disorders (Asperger's Syndrome, HFA, PDD-NOS) to work, literally and figuratively. We are in the process of developing programs that help a very underserved segment of knowledge workers within the autistic community find fulfilling work, stay employed, and advance their careers. We put autism to work for employers by helping them to understand how to provide a work environment that works best for the employee with Asperger's Syndrome and the employer. We provide support services and advice for both adults with AS and employers so that they both can work together.
