Deborah Kania, co-founder of Autismazing here in New Bern, spoke at our meeting on July 27. Autismazing is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation with a mission to improve higher education, employment, and entrepreneurial opportunities for young adults 13-30 years of age on the autism spectrum through financial support, programs and other initiatives.
Their mission is to increase public awareness of the talents and strengths of autistic youth; advocate on behalf of autistic persons who may not have the ability to do so; to provide support to autistic persons in their pursuit of higher education or careers and to educate and support autistic adults in pursuing lifelong independence. Our quarterly focus donations will be given to this organization.
