I am part of a wonderful new non-for-profit called Aspiritech. They employ Aspies like me in software testing and similar computer-based fields. I am currently training to be a software tester (not earning $ for that), and I think I might be the first and only female employed there right now. But none of their employees are getting much work because clients are needed and advertising costs money.

Aspiritech is in the running for the Chase Community Giving sweepstakes. The top 200 win at least $20,000! We are doing very well but we continue to need votes. This is through Facebook. Please vote today (and pass along this message for others to place their votes as well) and give this one-of-a-kind organization a chance to grow, expand, and help Aspie adults like me with meaningful employment! Thanks.

Also, if you know of any software companies, please let me know and I will forward the message to my boss. Thanks for voting!!!
