Our Story

Community Organisation

Our aim is to build a bridge between business and talented people within the Asperger community to create employment opportunities that have a lasting benefit for all. We do that by recognising that there can be distinct challenges that come with welcoming people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism into the workplace, and then using our expertise and experience to help businesses overcome them. The Asperger community boasts a wealth of talent that UK business is currently missing out on. By working with businesses of all sizes, from global corporates to SMEs, we believe we can create employment opportunities that are perfectly suited to both talented individuals and ambitious organisations. Through insight, support, guidance and expert knowledge around neurodiversity, we can help to connect forward-thinking employers with people who have the ability and creativity to deliver innovation and results. Whether you’re a candidate looking for a new career opportunity or a business that wants to meet the best talent available, contact us to see how we can work in partnership with you to achieve success.
