Coding Autism - An Online Education Company with a Purpose

How I Serve



I search for emerging companies, technologies, disruptive technologies, 

innovations, start-ups and up-starts. I’ll look to match potential problems… 

e.g. “plastic pollution” to solutions… e.g. 3D Printer for recycled plastic waste…

for potential venture capitalists, angel investors, and online funders. 

I’ll also highlight a variety of topics including funding success stories, 

the environment, housing, medical, artificial intelligence, science, 

aging populations, disabled populations, social entrepreneurs, philanthropy, 

and topical news. I’m always searching for great people innovating, 

inventing, and doing, great things.

AN ONLINE EDUCATION COMPANY WITH A PURPOSE


Our mission is to help empower autistics to reach their maximum potential in their careers, studies, and lives.

Coding Autism is building the first autism specialized coding academy, pairing online coding education, community, and an autism-savvy support team to help transition autistic talent into our technology workforce.

A Tech Company Revolutionizing Autism Employment and Education

It is completely unacceptable that approximately 80% of our autistic workforce is either unemployed or underemployed despite their academic achievements, intellectual capabilities, and skill sets. To combat this, Coding Autism has developed an innovative solution using technology to help successfully navigate autistic individuals to meaningful careers and studies in tech.


Autism Specialized Learning Experience

We provide project-based and in-demand coding curriculums, experienced mentors, and on-call tutoring and soft skills support to help provide autistic students an alternative form of education that is catered to their strengths.

Autistic DNA in Company

To emphasize our core values and mission behind Coding Autism, the founding, advisory, and staff is either on the autism spectrum, directly affiliated with a family or friend on the autism spectrum, or has extensive experience and involvement within the autism community. This allows us to operate our business and creative innovative solutions that are in the best interest of the autistic community.

Creating Diversified Work Environments and Cultures

It is important to remember that neurological diversity is also a stimulator of innovation within companies and that companies should champion the opportunity at hand to hire skilled autistic workers. Coding Autism helps companies streamline the process of employee on-boarding, retention, hiring initiatives, and managerial training for accommodating and utilizing autistic employees.

LEADERSHIP TEAM
OLIVER THORNTON
CEO
When Oliver was two years old, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome shortly after his older brother was diagnosed with Autism. Throughout Oliver's adolescent years, he struggled with his speech, making friends, and lacked self confidence in his intelligence and ability to succeed. Through the motivational forces of autism influencers such as Temple Grandin, Oliver transformed his mentality of what it truly meant to be a person on the autism spectrum. With this newly adopted mentality, Oliver drove himself to success in his college years at California Lutheran University (CLU), where he obtained his Real Estate Salesperson License, co-founded CLU's professional business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi, and won CLU's 2016 New Venture Competition. Since Oliver's graduation, Oliver has devoted himself to his real estate representation at Compass in Beverly Hills as well as building up Coding Autism.
