Autism-Improvised is a small nonprofit in the performing arts that uses improv-based programming to support social communication for youth and adults with Asperger's/high-functioning autism, as well as others needing help relating to the world around them. The organization runs three programs—Shenanigans, Code Breakers, and Bright Paths—each with a distinct focus: Shenanigans builds self-confidence through the playful aspects of improv; Code Breakers provides real-life coaching and role-play on issues facing young adults heading to the workforce, college, or more independent living; Bright Paths concentrates on self-advocacy and guiding teen girls on the spectrum toward adulthood. Based in Marietta, Georgia, with programs hosted at venues across metro Atlanta, Autism-Improvised operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its target audience includes youth and young adults with autism spectrum conditions seeking help relating to their surroundings, including teen girls featured in Bright Paths. In the performing arts and education landscape, the organization positions itself as a community-based provider of social-skills development through improvisational activities.
