Celebrating Unique Minds: How Minds of Light Transforms Lives on the Autism Spectrum
We are Minds of Light, a compassionate and empowering community specifically designed for individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Founded by Alison Jones, who herself is autistic and a parent to autistic children, we stand as a beacon of support and understanding. We offer a range of services aimed at helping autistic adults navigate the complexities of daily life. These services include financial skills training, such as managing rent and purchasing a car, relationship management advice, scheduling assistance for maintaining healthy habits and work-life balance, job coaching including resume writing and interview preparation, and employer training to create autism-friendly workplaces.
Beyond these practical services, we foster a nurturing community where autistic individuals can find friendship, acceptance, and mentorship. We host regular meet-ups and events to provide a safe and welcoming environment for members to socialize, network, and support each other. Our mission, "Empowering individuals with Autism to succeed and thrive in society," reflects our commitment to not only assist autistic adults in their personal and professional development but also to celebrate the unique qualities and contributions they bring to the world. Through Alison Jones' leadership and the collective efforts of its members, we hope to be a testament to the potential and resilience of the autistic community.
