"I keep coming across a very hopeful term in my travels— Autism Advantage. Employers are slowly learning that hiring people with autism and other disabilities has a real business advantage," Howard Blas- director of the National Ramah Tikvah Network.

The Autism Advantage, our online community, was created precisely to help other entrepreneurs - help them discover how to apply these benefits to their own sustainable business.

Thank you, Howard, for listing Rising Tide U and some of the amazing businesses who are making a difference.

More families are becoming creative and starting their own work opportunities.

“[Rising Tide U's] an online boot camp for individuals looking to create and market social enterprises, with the goal of creating profitable business opportunities that also employ developmentally disabled individuals.”
.. but what does that mean?

Families. Successful family businesses like The Chocolate Spectrum who have taken matters into their own hands by creating the opportunities that their loved one deserves. We're immensely proud to play a part in their growth.

Because nothing should get in the way of our loved ones meeting their potential.

Tom D’Eri, founder of Rising Tide U., says his mission is to help families with autistic children start profitable startups

"Instead of the traditional job interview focusing so heavily on social skills, the company has replaced it with a vetting process that lasts for weeks.. Being able to watch a candidate in that environment as opposed to sitting across the table interviewing them makes all the difference in the world.."
