Mission: Our organization provides a young adult mentorship program focusing on understanding and acceptance of individuals who have variations in brain function and social behaviors, such as but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), that are collectively known as "neurodiversity." The three pillars of Different Brains’ mission are to mentor neurodiverse adults and maximize their potential for employment and independence, to increase awareness of neurodiversity through research and through producing interactive media, and to foster the next generation of neurodivergent self-advocates.
Target demographics: Neurodivergent young adults
Programs: Self-advocacy, job readiness, social communication skills
