I was a speaker at the Canucks Autism Gala, a charity gala hosted by the Canucks Autism Network, a Vancouver charity which enables children and young adults on the spectrum and their families to enjoy recreational and social events. I was given a chance to to speak about my experiences working at SAP in their Autism at Work program, as SAP was the presenting sponsor of the event.

A video of my experiences in Autism at Work was also presented, and you can watch it here :D

Specialisterne is an international nonprofit which has the singular goal of enabling 1 million jobs for people on spectrum. DO check them out! I conducted an interview on national radio regarding my experiences with Specialisterne and SAP.

On a more local level, Focus Professional Services is a consulting organization based in Vancouver, Canada that attempts to hire people on the spectrum to act as IT consultants. They're a very new organization.

For those of us in Vancouver, there is an Aspies Meetup group; pm me if you're interested. I look forward to seeing anyone in Vancouver either in person or in a larger gathering!
