Can you change how the world views autism?
You Can Make a Difference
autism nonprofit
We’re igniting hearts and opening minds through autism storytelling so all individuals with autism have every opportunity in this world to shine! Our autism charity, Geek Club Books, produces original, creative story apps, webisodes, and digital content to educate children about autism and bring hope to autism families—and we hire autistic individuals to work with us on their creation. We’re addressing two important issues—public awareness/acceptance and autism employment.
Why Should You Care?
Today 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the majority are bullied and isolated in school, something my son (the inspiration behind Geek Club Books) experienced when he was growing up. It doesn’t get any better when they become adults−Socially isolated and marginalized, 90% are unemployed or underemployed. They are treated as burdens to society when so many just want an opportunity to share their gifts with the world and live productive, meaningful lives.
You Can Shift the Status Quo
autism story apps
Can you change how the world views autism? Can you make an impact for an adult on the autism spectrum? Already our giving community has made it possible for us to develop two autism story apps, awareness and inclusion curriculum, educational webisodes, and empowerment programs for autistic children and adults. We’ve been able to commission autistic talent—writers, copy editors, voice actors, filmmakers—to work with us on these projects. Our apps, webisodes and comic books are being distributed through autism organizations around the country and teachers are using them in their classrooms.
