Neurodivergent Creators Collective

I'm proud and excited to announce that the Neurodivergent Creators Collective, a program of Autism Empowerment that I've been leading (and co-leading) since April 2025, is now its own separate nonprofit organization, and that I will be serving as its Executive Director!

We'll be continuing the activities of the existing program, like our informal "Chill & Chat" sessions and Learning Workshops, while also adding Creator Showcases (film festivals, art shows, etc.) as well as a Project Production program that will--as the name implies--produce large-scale projects similar to the Hold My Beer short film, including the Joel Suzuki and the Wavemakers stage play. Our mission will be to provide neurodivergent artists and creators with the resources, community, and pathways needed to transform their creative passions into thriving professions.

For more information, you can:

As before, all our offerings will be free for participants, and some artists and creators can even get paid for their work. We are also actively looking for donors, funders, sponsors, and volunteers. If you are interested in learning more and/or getting involved, please reach out!
