Big news

Autistic young people and adults can access tailored support for employment, but many of us are better suited to self-employment (being our own boss) or entrepreneurship (creative solutions to gaps or problems we see around us). Sadly, tailored support for this has been sadly lacking.

I am in the process of working with others on three inter-connected organisations designed to provide at least some of that support. They all come under the banner of NeuDICE – NeuroDivergent and Inclusive Community of Entrepreneurs.

All three are underpinned by PinkGold Ltd, my personal business - the one that puts food on my table as I work voluntarily with other volunteers to get NeuDICE established.

·        INDIE (Institute for NeuroDivergent and Inclusive Entrepreneurship) will drive the knowledge creation and spreading of knowledge about ‘what works’.

·        NeuDICE-community will provide an international virtual community for us along with local networks.

·        NeuDICE-services will deal with some of the infrastructure challenges such as:

ð  lack of suitable co-working spaces (trying starting a business at the kitchen table if you have ADHD or in a co-working space if you get sensory overload!)

ð  business support and professional services designed only for neurotypical minds

ð  the unrecognised need for exec assistants (people who are part PA, part executive function support, part life-coach).

If you might want to be part of this, drop me an email at info@neudice.org
