This year we celebrate everyone on the Austism Spectrum and focus on their struggles to become accepted in our communities as employed individuals. We are also observing our organization’s 11th Anniversary!

Each year our dinner recognizes the wonderful people who keep our organization viable, those who make major contributions to our local community, and our clients who persevere despite the odds against them. This year we emphasize once more the talents and value that Aspergian adults could bring to their jobs, were they given the opportunity. And each year the intent of our event is to raise awareness about the need for employment of adults with Asperger’s Syndrome and to raise funds to enable us to help as many people as possible.

Our organization was founded by a man with Asperger's Syndrome because even as a person holding a master's degree, he had great difficulty finding gainful employment. For quite some time he was part of the statistic that shows that at least 80% of adults on the Autism Spectrum (world wide) are either unemployed or underemployed. Our mission is (1) to  educate employers about the positive side of hiring people with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) and (2) to help adult Aspergians lead productive lives through gainful employment. Ask any adult Aspie if they want to work. The answer will be a resounding "YES." They do not want to be a burden to their families or their communities.
