Oh Boy (Autism Employment)

[Guest guest]

I am told there is an uphill battle in public relations for autism and

developmental disability employment. Not everyone with disabilities is able to

work in traditional settings. I am not sure how it is like for you there as far

as day programs being offered. Ever since I was ten I've been very interested in

working but never accomplished working for someone else. In my attempts I've

refurbished and rebuilt over a thousand computers but computers are tricky

beasts.

In advocacy it's hard getting the attention of younger children's parents as

employment is a far off objective. I hated it but here on a half a dozen radio

stations it was announced a meet and greet to learn about such disability work

programs. I got to meet with parents and people with developmental disabilities.

Most parents don't want to place limitations on their children.

Employment innovations for those that need structured facilitated employment

like what exist here in day center employment programs needs the support of

parents. Employment equality, hope and transitions by choice need the support of

parents in the autism community abroad. My job is to raise the hell, be creative

and entice the imaginations of others outside my area to make for a community

supported employment industry framework.

I don't want to keep talking about the same things here. For those that do not

want to be mainstreamed in adulthood or just cannot it seems there is a

customized employment framework I have developed that can help some. Here in

Humboldt county in Fortuna City most of the ten thousand residents know of the

candle program now expanding to other products. I'm also launching the Humboldt

Includes campaign which I recommend for other areas to entice businesses with

support workers for transitional employment.

Is there anything anyone would like to talk about here with regard to

accommodating work advocacy? I've poured over 15,000 candles here and others do

the lotions and label parts of the candles. We just finished a project with

5,000 work program magnets for the candles, sniffer samples and candle coupons

to go in the newspapers again. Large saturated awareness and community support

takes allot of work and I'd hope others would take the initiative and create

hope in other areas for groups of individuals with autism and other

developmental disabilities.

If not I may expand to an area near you, well least in California, or provide

these products here on a national level. Robotic equipment is being purchased

next. IT will be some time before the internet campaign begins and the products

are offered on Amazon.com like a recent news article about the company outlined.

I thought I would offer otherwise I'll do it myself.

There are two recent articles about my project and numerous past articles

including two front page featured stories, T.V news awareness and donated large

scale radio campaigns. It is part of my ISP \ IPP regional center services and

supports. I think that is like an IEP for school aged people. Others I hire are

part of the regional center system. One was in the last newspaper article making

lotions, not candle like they said as obviously in the picture she is making

lotions.

Here are some people talking about the company on the radio.

I do not sell candles and the other products online as I cannot keep up now. My

intent with sharing this information is not to sell people things but I am very

excited about the accomplishments. I think it means a great deal because as a

work industry I can lead, make examples and socially influence the world around

me so to create improvements and influence others to create inclusion. I am also

launching the Humboldt Includes campaign which will help people acquire

transitional employment skills, even because of autism the transitional ability

to tolerate new circumstances, I'm much like that and am very rigid. I am not an

expert.

Anyone with a substantial developmental disabilities as defined by California

law can qualify to benefit from my organization so as long as I am doing a good

job and a support agency is working with me. My organization is not that complex

so far I make all the decisions but when there is a board of directors I won't

make all the decisions. I just hope they are dedicated and innovative in

advocacy like me as I cannot keep up with all the things required in business.

So I hire a CPA for instance but when it becomes a non-profit I hope to find a

bookkeeper that is a parent for instance to do that as a volunteer or much

cheaper.

My extension on the phone system is 701.

others work in this that are not autistic yet may do better in alternative

Yes, please tell us more about this, what you might need more of, etc. Can others work in this that are not autistic yet may do better in alternative employment settings? Do you have a website or a news article link that would be most helpful to learn more?

"I don't want to keep talking about the same things here."

Is there another group you are also talking about this on? Feel free to email me on or off list too.

Thank you,
