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
