FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[OKLAHOMA CITY, OK]—The Autism Foundation of Oklahoma (AFO) has been awarded a generous grant to support the organization’s social programming for neurodivergent adults in the Oklahoma City area. This funding will help AFO continue providing inclusive and engaging activities that foster connection, reduce isolation, and build community among adults on the spectrum and those with other neurodivergent conditions.
Through this initiative, AFO offers a variety of events tailored to the interests and needs of neurodivergent adults, a population that sees high unemployment and suicidality rates. These programs are designed to create a safe and welcoming space for participants to build friendships, practice social skills, and access meaningful opportunities for growth and enrichment.

We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership and their commitment to our mission.”
