Ep. 364
Mar 21, 2025 #autismawareness #PappaYolksGrill #HoustonEats Great food and a great cause come together at Pappa Yolk’s Grill in Pasadena, TX! In this special interview, we sit down with Neel, the restaurant’s owner, Connor, one of the employees at Pappa Yolk’s, and Alan, the founder of Blue Skyes Over Autism, a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to supporting families living with autism. Together, they’ve created an inspiring partnership to provide job opportunities for autistic young people, helping them gain valuable skills and be included in the workforce.
Neel and Alan share why they are passionate about autism awareness, how autistic employees bring unique strengths to the team, and why businesses should be more open to hiring neurodiverse individuals. They also want families to feel encouraged, knowing that autistic people can find a place where they are valued and supported.
Join us as we highlight this inspiring local partnership making a real impact in the community. If you’re in Houston, stop by and experience their award-winning breakfast!
