More than 9 percent of the U.S. population is unemployed, and finding work is challenging for adults with autism even in better economies. Brenda Weitzberg knew her university educated son could work, but his autism amounted to a serious obstacle in the job market. His unique talent for attention to detail proved perfect in identifying software anomalies. And so, she founded Aspiritech, which tests for software problems, not only to address her son's needs but the needs of other people in his situation.
Aspiritech's "mission to provide a path for high functioning individuals on the Autism Spectrum helps these young adults realize their potential through gainful employment."
The nonprofit's vision is to expand to other geographic and business areas in addition to inspiring others to replicate our model. To those ends, we continue to seek sources of funding and additional billable work.You can find out more about Aspiritech by visiting the website.
