Kim and Jen, Co-Founders of the new dating platform for adults with Autism, join the show! The Mix is a new platform for helping adults with autism find love or friendships in a safe and fun community!
Kim and Jen have been working in the Autism community for a long time. Kim is a school psychologist and Jen is a social worker and BCBA. In their experience, they both noticed the lack of resources available to people with disabilities after high school, especially the lack of resources that help develop social skills and relationship building. So, they created a platform to help people with autism meet new people, build relationships and just socialize in a safe environment!
In this episode we talk all about; the inception of this idea, the current environment for people with autism and other disabilities, how the platform works and the importance of love and relationships in the lives of everyone! This episode is so important because it sheds light on a new resource that so many desperately need.
