In this episode of Grit Won't Quit, Tom sits down with Samir Popal of New Horizons in Autism to talk about what life looks like after school for individuals with autism—and the support systems that are often missing.
They discuss the growing housing crisis affecting the autism community, how nonprofits like New Horizons are stepping in, and why networking and partnerships are critical for long-term impact. Samir shares how their team uses fun, community-based events to raise awareness and funds, and Tom announces a new fundraising goal to help push their mission forward.
It's an eye-opening conversation about advocacy, action, and doing more for a community that deserves it.
