A day program for adults with autism that presumes competence, focuses on strengths and provides job training, social life and employment.

Jake 1.17.2024 I think the best thing about the internet is that there are tons of things waiting to be discovered by many people. You can get a lot of facts via websites and video content. For me, it allows me to see a lot of good supercars and compare them to modern models, discover new remixes to listen to, and look up childhood memories like online games and TV bumpers.

The worst thing about the internet is that a lot of people post compilations of characters crying and instances where a character cries (movie or TV) and even videos of toddlers and little kids going nuts in situations, and a lot of gender reveal reaction videos. There’s just too much disappointment!

The pro of social media is that you can post what you want the world to know about you and the only con is the fact that once you do have a social media account, the whole world knows about you and then you might be more cautious about what you post.

I think it’s better for people to stay connected in person because then they can express their feelings and opinions in front of a friend and not cause an online debate.

One part of our lives that doesn’t need to be seen on the internet is your personal schedule because everyone’s is different.
