Sorry for being away for so long, been dealing with some life issues. I'm sure you all here know what its like.
Now onto topic, For the past 4 years I have attempted and failed at finding substantial work in the area I live. I have had jobs, and lost them. I have went though agencies to help, nothing came of them. As of late every single application I have sent out has came back with "not hiring" or "we are evaluation our workforce" or other generic responses.
About a month ago I visited with my father, mother, and grandmother just to be nice. I mentioned to my father that I really wanted to work with autistic people and families to offer support and a way for them to network and communicate with other autistic people or families, as well as giving them a network system to get support, transportation, healthcare, ect.
My father who is experienced in legal things for none-profit and charity work was really behind it. He said raising an autistic child was very difficult for him because there wasn't as much awareness as their is now and that even now in some areas there is no support system. He mentioned he is all for helping me on the legal and paperwork side.
Here comes my problem though, I honestly have the vague idea you heard but no real set major ideas. Like I wanna help people and families with the organization but don't know what specific features or services I want it to provide.
Could you guys help me brainstorm some Ideas or services to offer if I get the organization off the ground? I really wanna see this idea become reality and its a way for me to be able to make money (to support myself) as well as help others doing something I'm passionate about.
