Why is our program important?
In 2020 the CDC reported that approximately 1 in 54 children in the US is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Over the next decade an estimated 707,000 to 1,116,000 teens (each year) will enter adulthood and age out of autism supported services.
Aspire offers job training and paid employment to those with ASD and similar special needs.
We are on a mission: we want to inspire individuals with autism and similar special needs to achieve their full potential
With every purchase, you are supporting meaningful income opportunities; ensuring our artisans with autism and similar neurodiverse conditions continue to have a supportive COMMUNITY and the OPPORTUNITY to thrive, add value and achieve a sense of PURPOSE.

I received this beautifully designed, hand sewn wrap made by Christopher Williams. I love wearing trendy clothes. I received lots of compliments and continue to receive compliments when worn. The wrap is comfortable, trendy and chic!

Our Impact
More than half of young adults with autism remain unemployed or unenrolled in education and nearly half of 25 year olds with autism have never held a paying job.
Since 2016, we have been working to change that!
