This is part of our ongoing expansion of the resources we provide clients, employers, and the general public.
Here you will find a list companies that have indicated that they are either hiring or would consider hiring a person with Asperger's Syndrome. Whether you are an Aspie or someone who loves an Aspie, this page is for you! Check it out at https://aspergerworks.org/employment/jobs-market-place.
More Businesses Show Interest in Our Presentations
As of May, we changed our organization's focus to educating employers about the desirablity of hiring adult Aspergians. We found that we may have helped our clients with job preparation skills and with job searches, but without having employers who are at least willing to interview them, neither they nor we were making any headway.
Through the efforts of our BCOC, Kim Boudrot, we have been invited by a number of companies to give our presentation either in-person or via Zoom. The last couple of months, we listed some of the companies that requested presentations. (For a list of those companies, please see last month's newsletter or our webpage.)
Here are a few more companies that were interested in learning about Autism/Asperger's and AWorks:
If your business would like to schedule a presentation either in person or on ZOOM, please contact us at employment@aspergerworks.org.
Want to See AWorks at Your Work or Community Event?
AWorks is hoping to connect with local businesses inhouse, on ZOOM, or at different community events where we can educate you, your employee(s), and HR representatives on the pros members of the Aspie world could bring to your company. If you would like to have us come to your place of work or event, kindly contact us at info@aspergerworks.org for more information!

Volunteering is an excellent way to get involved with helping the employment opportunities of persons with Asperger’s Syndrome. AWorks is so grateful to all its Volunteers. Below are the stories of some of the young people who helped us out prior to COVID-19. We are so thankful for all the aid they gave us!
Here are four more of the many young people who have volunteered/interned with us:
We are looking for Volunteer Grant Writers and English-Spanish Translators. Do you have the talent and time to donate to AWorks?
We would also like to encourage young people interested in Community Service to join our Internship Program.
