The Rise of Autism and Its Inevitable Impact
Autism diagnoses are rising, reflecting both increased awareness and a growing neurodiverse community.
Autism impacts people from all backgrounds, and the likelihood of it touching your life is significant. Let’s break down barriers and build a world where understanding, not fear, paves the way for a more inclusive future.
Autism: Truth vs Misconceptions
Many misunderstandings surround autism.
It’s important to remember that people with autism experience the world differently, not less. They have feelings, hopes, and dreams, just like anyone else. By understanding autism better, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world. Let’s dispel some common myths…
These persistent myths about autism have created a world where autistic individuals are often misunderstood, marginalized, and denied the support and understanding they need.
Through education, open-mindedness, and a willingness to engage with autistic people as individuals, we can create a more inclusive and accepting world.
Autistic people are just like the rest of us – they think differently, feel deeply, and experience a range of struggles and triumphs.
Hidden Struggles: The Challenges Without Support
Annually, 100K will enter adulthood and age out of school-based autism services
Nearly a third (32%) of children with autism are overweight and 16% are obese
Of those in vocational programs, 60% leave without jobs, and 80% earn $160/week, below the poverty line
2/3 of children with autism between the ages of 6-15 have been bullied
ASD isolation comes from an inability to express and interpret feelings in a conventional way, especially online
14% have “sometimes” or “very often” contemplated suicide, 28x the rate for children with typical development

Revolutionizing Personal Development
Through Martial Arts
Unmatched Success in Enhancing Self-Confidence and Sensory Processing
Our platform is not just a martial arts course—it’s a groundbreaking journey into personal development, enhancing self-confidence and sensory integration like never before.
Breaking Barriers: Martial Arts as a Beacon for Autism
Here’s where hope shines through: martial arts. Renowned not just for physical development but for fostering mental and emotional growth, martial arts is a proven ally in improving the lives of individuals with autism.
It’s a practice that nurtures discipline, focus, and, importantly, sensory integration.
However, access to quality martial arts training is a significant barrier, with geography, finances, and the scarcity of skilled instructors standing in the way.
In partnership with LIFE College
Life College is a revolutionary accredited institution that provides higher learning and vocational training to foster independence, employment, and overall well-being for all of their students.
The best part of their program is that it enables our therapists to take the role of instructor – they can easily incorporate the platform into their pre-planned goals as supplementary curriculum.
