Ecosystem of solutions
Asperger para Asperger is not an NGO: it is a social enterprise that generates revenue through useful solutions for the community and reinvests it to sustain a virtuous cycle of inclusion. Its founder, who has lived this experience firsthand, acts with a firm sense of purpose and works alongside all the people and organizations that share this vision. The result is an ecosystem of solutions aimed at the social inclusion of people with Asperger's, on the autism spectrum, and across the full range of cognitive diversity. Read our story →
