[quote=Anonymous]I recently had the opportunity to engage with one of the leaders of "Coding Autism," and it sparked my interest in posting in this Forum.

Background: Oliver Thornton & Team at Coding Autism are attempting to build an organization that focuses on helping the ASD community obtain job training given the approximately 80% rate of unemployment in the community.  Given the remarkable skills of the community, and with a potential large synergy between this community and jobs involving coding, Coding Autism is focusing on training (and job skills efforts) for coding-related tasks.

Recent Publicity: 
(1) Yahoo Finance - https://yhoo.it/2odrJSW
(2) Yahoo! Tech  - https://yhoo.it/2odmym4 
(3) IT Business Edge - http://bit.ly/2qeYQCu
(4) Mashable - http://on.mash.to/2osze3D  
(among other coverage)

Call to Action: Coding Autism is currently crowdsourcing, and the deadline for funding is 3 days away (if they do not make the goal, they receive none of the funding). They are so (!) close, and I want to see them succeed. I wanted to make this forum aware of the mission - http://bit.ly/2orKKxd - Thank you for the opportunity to post on this.[/quote]
