MV Barkery: Changing the world one dog biscuit at a time

Each year it is estimated that 70,000 adolescents with autism “age out” of school-based services. What’s next? Studies estimate over 85% of the 5.6 million adults with autism in the U.S. are unemployed or underemployed and nearly 50% of 25-year-olds with autism have never held a paying job, despite having the skill sets and expertise to excel in the workplace.

In wanting to find a meaningful employment opportunity for her son with autism (Henry, 23) after he aged-out of the educational system, Edie Prescott (founder), had a great idea. Henry loves being in the kitchen, he loves to mix and cut out the shapes (and he loves to mush & sample the batter lol). The idea just came to her in the car one day, and after some research she learned that the two main places on the Island that sell dog treats do not make them on Martha's Vineyard - one uses a wholesale baker in Wareham, MA and one uses a baker in Idaho. She thought, "Why not?" It's creative and fun and something she and her son could do together.

Reading Recommendation: Uniquely Human

Autism is not an illness. It's a different way of being a human. Autistic adults and children progress through developmental stages as we all do. To help them, we don't need to "fix" them. We need to understand them and then changes ourselves - our beliefs, attitudes, and actions.
