"Currently, the unemployment rate among autistic adults is nearly 80% nationwide. While the focus has been solely on early intervention for children with autism, they grow up to become adults with autism and the resources for their continued growth and success are limited. The depression statistics in adults are as equally astounding as the unemployment rate. Seeing the need first hand, being a mother to a young adult with autism, I decided to do something about it. I took a leap of faith with the hope it would open doors for a population that has fallen through the cracks." - Vanessa Bieker, Founder of Fly Brave
