Supporting autistic adults

Holding hands

We are a nonprofit devoted to assisting independent autistic adults with various forms of support. With the benefit of donations and corporate sponsors, we are offering socialization training to a select group of ASD adults.

Guidance Resources for Independent People — GRIP is certified by UCLA to provide this special socialization education (PEERS). ASD adults frequently struggle with social deficits such as; social isolation, cultivating friendships, communication, work related interaction, romance, and over-dependence on caregivers.

We are here to help!

If you or someone you know would benefit from this training, please contact us using the post form!

Based on the your response, we will determine the amount of interest, number of selected candidates, an appropriate location venue, dates, times and options for virtual participation. GRIP also offers private training to those who find that more facilitating.

Explore www.GRIP.charity for more information.

Please visit our YouTube channel to watch and listen to our amazing videos. Take a moment and experience the first autism song.

GRIP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in Virginia. Email support@GRIP.charity or call 703-375-9930.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
