Our Beginning

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
― GEORGE ELLIOT

Our founder, Paula Breeden, was inspired by her journey raising her son Zak, who has ASD, to empower other young adults with ASD with knowledge to help them navigate through life and become more independent.  After receiving her Life and Career Coach certification from the Life Purpose Institute, Paula founded a meetup group, ASD Adult Achievers, and started building her coaching practice, Transform Your Life Coaching.  She was then honored to serve as the Adult Programs Facilitator for UCF CARD.  This prepared her to launch the ASD Adult Achievement Center as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Our Mission

“You are not broken and you don’t need to be fixed.”
— PAULA BREEDEN

Our mission is to provide an environment where adults with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) can come together to develop skills, strategies and solutions that promote greater achievement and independence.

I'm currently a part of the VIPWorks program, started going a few weeks ago. Everyone I met there has been amazing, very friendly and helpful too.

I am currently in the Taskmasters program and I am learning a lot about myself and being able to share my goals and have great instructors teaching me the fundamentals and getting to where I want to be in the future.

I can confidently say that this organization is one of the best places you can sign up with if you are an adult on the spectrum who needs help with developing any kind of area in your life, including: social skills, independent living skills, self-advocacy, job readiness skills and vocational skills, and much more! I have personally seen dozens grow from joining and participating in these programs. In addition, every single staff member—as well as the founder herself—put every fiber of their being towards helping clients and creating a safe, positive environment for everyone.

ASD Adult Achievement Center is truly a remarkable place to work at. There, I've met a lot of people that go through similar challenges that I also face. Here, I've learned all sorts of new techniques that will help more when I'm in a workplace to improve from the struggles that I have been going through and I have made many designs of creativity in the working environment.

There are not enough superlatives to describe the amazing work that Paula, MaryAnn, and the entire staff do every day. Our son found a community, friends, life skills, and new found optimism for his future. This organization is more than worthy of your attention, inquiry, and support. Thank you to the entire team for the positive, life changing mission that you embody and share everyday!
