You’ve got drive and ambition and a vision that will change lives everywhere!Your powerfully creative mind helps you find the solutions to even the most difficult of problems and you make things happen. You look for possibility in every challenge, and you don't take "no" for an answer – and that's what makes you the Visionary!Your quick-paced mind and natural aptitude for problem solving make you an amazing entrepreneur and leader. Your determination and passion means you're willing to do the work to get to the top and make your vision a reality.Your biggest challenge? Sometimes you give yourself goals or deadlines that leave you feeling exhausted, alone, and sometimes overwhelmed. Often, you're focused on getting the job done and you forget to ask for help along the way. Of course, when you’ve got dreams as big as yours, it’s understandable that you want to be in charge of their implementation — but we've learned in 20 years of working with visionaries just like you that it takes community and collaboration to truly make an impact.Hi👋, we're the Global Autism Project!The Global Autism Project discovers and mentors high-potential entrepreneurs and leaders driving social impact for the global Autistic community.For nearly 20 years, we've been working on 6 continents in over 20 countries.

Stop working alone and start working collaboratively. Yes, you’ve got a lot to get done and the ability to make it happen. But, you don't have to do it alone! There are thousands of people just like you working around the world to launch autism services in their countries, and we can help you connect to them. (just read to #5 below!)2. Give yourself a break! You’re doing so much my friend! Take a day off and go for a walk in the woods or have a long chat with a friend. You’ll never achieve your dream if you burn out!3. Connect with any local doctors in your community who are diagnosing autism. From finding services, community, and support – families are looking for answers from the moment they receive a diagnosis, and YOU could be there for them. Find your local doctors who are diagnosing autism, and ask them where they send their patients after diagnosis. Ask them to share your card, your pamphlet, your phone number with families to ensure these families have connections when they need it most!4. Find your people and start asking questions! As a visionary, it's easy to focus on working and doing non-stop. We've found it's important to check in often with the people who hope to help – the families, students, teachers, and local leaders. Share your vision, ask for feedback, and try to find out what they need most from you. Even if you don’t agree with them, they’re sure to spark some innovation in you5.
