Subject: New vocational website for adults on the spectrum 

Dear Spectrumites

Autistic author Donna Williams has helped develop a site specifically for job hunting and advertizing your skills. Her personal message is below my signature and I'd advise all you wasted talents to register. Don't have high expectations right off the bat, though, as sites like this take time to really take off with employers. But this is a great project worthy of support, if not at the very least a great cheering section.

Yours, y'all,

Michael John Carley

Many of you will know me as the Autistic author of the book Nobody Nowhere which is in many languages all around the world.

I have written many other books, 9 books now published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, some in languages around the world.

Today I am an artist, author and public speaker in the Autism world.

I am writing to you all to please ask you to tell your members about our new website www.auties.org

This website is very exciting because it has been made by people with Autism Spectrum Disorder

It has been made to help all people on the Autistic Spectrum all over the world to find work and employment.

The website lists people for free if they are diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Condition.

It allows people to find and support the work and skills of people with Autism Spectrum Conditions around the world.

There are categories of work for those with ALL levels of skills.

The website is not just for the most able people on the Autistic Spectrum. It is for all people on the Autistic Spectrum.

The website is not political and provides equal opportunity to all people on the Autistic Spectrum around the world.

The site is also open to businesses which consider themselves 'Autie Friendly' as part of us trying to make the mainstream world more accessible to people on the autistic spectrum.

Please do come and visit us at www.auties.org

We would like to thank you so much for your support in helping let people know about this new website.

We are hoping to provide a very practical way to promote abilities in those with disabilities.

And please, do let anyone else know about this service who you may feel will find it of use.

Warmly, 

Donna Williams *)
