By Julian I INSPIRE MYSELF. I WORK REALLY HARD. I HAVE OVERCOME A LOT OF THINGS I AM A SMART GUY I CAN DO A LOT. I AM A GREAT SWIMMING ATHLETE. I AM ALWAYS LEARNING. I LIKE TO READ COMPLEX BOOKS. I AM WORKING TOWARDS BEING THE BEST JULIAN I CAN BE. PEOPLE CAN BE INSPIRED BY MY WORK. I AM STILL WORKING ON BEING CALM. I KEEP WORKING ON MYSELF. IT HELPS YOU TO FIND IDEAS FROM WORKING ON THE COMPUTER. COMPUTERS MOTIVATE ME TO WORK HARD. COMPUTERS INSPIRE ME WITH ALL THE INFORMATION IT HAS. TECHNOLOGY GIVES ME WORK TO LEARN. TEAHNOLOGY IS A GOOD WAY TO LEARN AND TO COMMUNICATE. I WANT TO DO PAINT ON THE LINE.

About JoyDew

JoyDew transforms the brutal reality of people with autism from being treated as a commodity, living in isolation and without hope, into flourishing human beings with lifelong friends, who can express themselves and apply their unique talents and skills to succeed in the workplace. Our day program identifies their unique strengths and interests, develops them with job training and academic enrichment, provides communication and other supports, and creates high-level employment for people with autism, without exception, where they can learn and grow in a community of their own, and unleash their hopes and dreams.
