  • A mom was worried about what her son, who has autism, would do after high school. So she opened the So Much To Give cafe, a restaurant in Cedars, Pennsylvania, that employs people with disabilities - and helps them grow.

      He might not HAVE a learning disability (unless I missed that being said). Autists vary significantly from person to person. I'm autistic and have a degree and I'm hoping to continue my Masters on autism over the next year or so. I only mention it because most people have a media twisted version of what autists should be like

    Where I work we have regular customers who have disabilities and additional needs. It peeves me off when I overhear the other customers making rude and mean comments about them. 😡
    You don't bad mouth them in front of me coz I will get angry. (I don't say anything because I don't want to cause a problem/scene)
    I was bullied and picked on at school, so I know how feels to have rude and mean things said to me.

    This is phenomenal but it shouldn't be so rare! This is about community saying that there is no reason why someone who has a disability shouldn't have an opportunity of employment or doesn't have "something to give". Along the way we find that there's a place where everyone belongs and none of us need to slip through the cracks ❤

    A fantastic human being with a fantastic idea. ❤ as someone with autiam myself, it's so hard to just live without work or at least a routine that work can give you. I was without work for a year and it made me really depressed. My ship finally pulled in when I got a job in march. I still am learning and I still make mistakes but I am much, much happier. I feel better and I feel proud to be responsuble enough that my coworkers have faith in me to do a good job because they know i can do it. Thank you Maureen and everyone who helped for making this happen for all these wonderful people 🙏
