Why fidgetech?
We’re designed specifically for adults experiencing autism, creating opportunity, hope, and dignity through rigorous technology and design training for the purpose of employment
75% of adults experiencing autism are unemployed or underemployed
How did we get here?
Families and schools can underestimate kids experiencing autism, leading to a lack of future employment planning and exploration

“I am so glad my son is in the program. Such a great opportunity to learn new skills in an environment that understands him and does not judge him. Not to mention that he is in a group of young adults similar to him where he can perhaps make new friends. What more can a mother of a child on the spectrum ask for.”
