Unemployment and underemployment rates in the Autism community are debilitatingly high, but one group of Autism parents in Chapel Hill, North Carolina have created an incredible solution.  Extraordinary Ventures is a group of small businesses whose mission is to provide employment opportunities for individuals with ASD and other disabilities. Job candidates are helped through the application process and then given the support they need to be successful in jobs that range from event planning and preparation, laundry services and candle making.  For more information visit www.gifts.evnc.com
