FEAT URED
At EnCircle , we know that often these people can have a hard time being understood or even accepted . We like to tell the world how wonderful people with autism are and how sometimes you have to be open to seeing the good qualities in someone who might be different or who might be having problems at school .
Here , in this yellow room , we like to welcome our students and let them know that we ’ re cheering for them to get a good job one day . They learn technology skills to build websites , or to produce websites , or learn code . I started EnCircle with another mother who was worried for her son . We have welcomed more than 20 students in a short amount of time . Some now have jobs or are going to college after they learn skills at EnCircle .
If you know of someone with autism , please tell them about us ! Also , please be kind and cheer for them wherever you are .
P . S . We have a big video game tournament in the fall . Please check it out on our website ; maybe next year , you ’ ll want to play in it .
