Message from our Founder
As the father of a wonderful 13-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, I've journeyed through the world of autism, experiencing its challenges and celebrating its unique joys. My personal experiences have driven me to seek extensive knowledge and certifications in autism care and understanding. This journey wasn't just about understanding my son better; it was about changing the way society interacts with all individuals on the spectrum.
In founding Friends of Autism, I've channeled my passion and expertise into a platform that empowers businesses to effectively engage with autistic individuals. Our mission is to bridge the gap between businesses and the autism community, fostering environments of understanding, respect, and inclusion.
We're not just a consultancy; we're advocates for change, educators for understanding, and supporters for every individual and business we work with. We're committed to creating a world where autistic individuals can thrive in every social and professional setting.
I invite you to join us on this mission. Together, we can build a more inclusive society, one interaction at a time.
