Autism Talent Show
Date: Fall, 2026
Join us for our annual Autism Talent Show. Your talent can be whatever is your passion. We love the singers and musicians which are always popular and a crowd favorite. We also include so many other talents and passions that truly reflect our versatility and uniqueness. We have had a mermaid, fire breather, a person who made crafts, magic tricks, a person who drew a picture, other artists, a rodeo barrel racer, water skier, a model/pageant winner, someone spoke all about trains, an advocacy video, someone who play jacks, American Idol contestant, an animator and so much more. The talent is endless. It does not matter where you live, it does not matter your age. We just want you to have the opportunity to showcase your passion-your talents. You simply make a video with your phone of your talent no more than 3 minutes.
More details will be posted as the event gets closer.
Career Launch
Date: October, 2026
We are starting a new event called, Career Launch. This will be for adults 18+ with Autism to teach them skills for searching for jobs and beginning their career.
