A Year of Divershines: Celebrating Achievements in Autism Support
At Divershines, our mission is to provide comprehensive assistance to autistic adults. As we celebrate our first anniversary, we reflect on our accomplishments and express our gratitude to the community that has supported us. Over the past year, we have expanded our resources, engaged in meaningful collaborations, and empowered countless individuals. Join us as we celebrate this milestone and look forward to continuing our journey of supporting neurodiversity together.
Our Mission and Vision
From the beginning, Divershines has been driven by a clear vision: to encourage neurodivergent entrepreneurship and provide support to autistic individuals and/or their immediate families, helping them achieve economic independence through the development of their talents.
Achievements Over the Year
In our first year, we have reached over 138.000 people through our social media, shared success stories of neurodivergent individuals or their families in our Top Shines section, supported brands through our Get to Know Me initiative, prepared free resources for our community in collaboration with professionals from various fields, and published over 70 articles sharing experiences written by recognized individuals in the neurodivergent community and by our own Divershines team.
Recently, we launched Diverchat, a virtual assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence that helps answer questions related to autism. We also created our Store Front, a virtual shop where we recommend products and services made by and for the neurodivergent community.
Media and Community Involvement
We are proud to have been featured in several media outlets and participated in television interviews. Our ongoing networking efforts have allowed us to connect with companies like Aspika, with whom we will soon collaborate to create free resources for our community, with the help of experts in various fields.
