Amy Gudmestad, MICC's CEO, had an excellent discussion with Nurse Kelly of Friesen Holistic Services and 106.1 BOB FM’s Neil Freeman about MICC and our College, Careers, and Summer Programs. Amy and Kelly discussed why MICC is needed now more than ever to help autistic adults create their own independent lives:
MICC stands at the forefront of addressing this need, offering a lifeline to autistic adults aspiring to carve out their own paths in life. By focusing on real-world skills, MICC equips students with the tools necessary for success in both their personal and professional lives, challenging the status quo for neurodivergent adults. As Kelly shares, "Autism doesn't end at graduation." She knows first-hand the importance of support after high school - her son, Michael, is a proud MICC College graduate who is living an independent life! Our thanks to Neil for providing the platform and engaging us with thoughtful questions, to Kelly for extending the invitation and sharing her son's journey with MICC, and to the listeners of BOB Country for tuning in and supporting our cause. Your interest and support play a crucial role in our mission to empower autistic individuals towards independence! Listen to the recording here (10 minutes): Minnesota Independence College and Community (MICC) is a nonprofit post-high school vocational and life skills training program for autistic and neurodivergent adults. Since its founding in 1996, MICC has remained dedicated to helping participants make successful transitions towards independent living, self-sufficiency, and true belonging.
Through hands-on learning, education, support, and resources, MICC participants achieve sustained, independent living, rewarding employment, financial security, personal growth and responsible citizenship.

Hey, you! Yeah that’s right, I’m talking to you! You know that weirdo you saw in the crowd cam of last week’s Twins’ game with one of those giant foam hands and a scream to rival the sound of a kazoo scraping a chalkboard? Turns out, that was me, trying to get your attention this entire time.
Now that you’re finally here, let me apologize for such an abrasive opening. A recent submission has required me to scramble for my notes; October is coming to a close, and I am running out of time to respond to this question before people are busy partying and conjuring sugar addictions. In other news, I’ve just gotten word that it is no longer October. It turns out, it’s better to just politely ask for someone’s time as opposed to obscene ways to grab their attention. Huh. Well, the spooky month might have faded, but we’re still in the spirit at the Metaphor Meadows! Let me read off today’s question, and I’ll elaborate: How do you get over someone you work with who isn’t being the nicest to you? |
