[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. 

“The support from Expand Energy enables us to expand our programming further and reach  even more neurodivergent adults in our community,” said Carley Marissa Dummitt, Marketing  and Community Engagement Specialist for the Autism Foundation of Oklahoma, who oversees  the program. “These events make a tremendous difference in participants’ lives by providing a  sense of belonging and connection. We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership and their  commitment to our mission.” 

Expand Energy’s grant underscores its dedication to fostering inclusion and well-being in the  communities it serves. “We are thrilled to partner with the Autism Foundation of Oklahoma by  supporting their social programming for neurodivergent adults in our community,” said Brooke  Coe, Manager – Communications & Media Relations at Expand Energy. “We are grateful that  they provide such a welcoming environment where all individuals can thrive through learning  and engagement with others.”
