“What would happen if the autism gene was eliminated from the gene pool?
You would have a bunch of people standing around in a cave, chatting and socializing and not getting anything done”

ABOUT US

At Code Blue for Autism we recognise a significant gap in services for school leavers and young adults on the autism spectrum.
Our programs address three (3) critical areas of need:

ACCESS, PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION
Providing opportunities for young adults on the spectrum to have better access, participation and genuine inclusion in mainstream community events.
SELF EMPOWERMENT
Empowering young adults with ASD to self-direct their social choices.
