95% of autistic adults have lost a job due to their difficulty with social skills. Social skills deficits are the primary obstacle to autistic adults retaining gainful employment and living as independently as possible. Individuals with social anxiety, NAS, PTSD, & ACES are also likely to have social skill deficits. In a post-COVID world, collective trauma can also contribute to a loss of social skills. Unfortunately, access to social skills intervention is limited and expensive; in rural areas, it’s largely non-existent. Even telehealth is problematic—the necessary infrastructure in many areas is lacking. In addition, total costs for small group therapy can exceed $100,000/yr. Spectrum Gaming Project helps train local community organizations how to build social skills gaming groups as a means of bridging this gap. Our model is affordable, sustainable, and effective. In addition, it creates the infrastructure necessary for more direct intervention. We are currently looking for partners with local schools, organizations, and cities. Messages and invitations welcome. My daily goal is to have one meaningful conversation with someone new. How can I help you?
