- The_Daniel_Jordan_Fiddle_Foundation abstract "The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation (DJF) is a national, all-volunteer-run, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that focuses exclusively on adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The DJF mission is to develop, advocate for and support programs through grant awards that enrich the lives of adolescents and adults with autism. ASD affects each individual in a different manner but is generally characterized by impairments in social interactions and communication skills. In some people, ASD also affects cognitive, emotional and behavioral functioning.The guiding principle of The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation is to honor the individuality of each person with ASD so that each may participate throughout their lifetime in vocational, recreational, educational and residential opportunities that are suitable, stimulating and sustainable and allow for maximum integration in the community.Quality of life issues, including health and wellness throughout the lifespan, awareness about co-morbid health conditions and the development of positive support systems for adults on the spectrum are an integral part of the DJF mission.For instance, statistics show that as many as 30% of people with autism also have epilepsy, so DJF developed an informational brochure featuring tips for recognizing various types of seizures and suggested first-aid techniques entitled, 'Autism, Epilepsy & Seizures: How To Recognize The Signs and Basic First Aid When You Do.' It contains general information about autism and epilepsy as well as about the co-condition of the two. It outlines the different types of seizures that might occur and offers basic first aid tips as recommended by the Epilepsy Foundation of America. It is a collaborative effort among DJF, The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey, Autism Family Services of New Jersey, and Dr. Ruth Nass, Professor of Child Neurology and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine and a nationally recognized pediatric behavioral neurologist.Based in Ridgewood, New Jersey, DJF is the only autism organization in the nation whose exclusive focus is on the adolescent and adult autistic community. It was founded by Linda Walder Fiddle, and named after her late son Danny who had ASD. Autism affects 1 in 110 individuals each year according the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation has been a primary national catalyst in bringing the needs of adults with ASD to public awareness since 2002. The foundation was instrumental in supporting New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez’ re-introduction of The Helping HANDS for Autism Act of 2009, a three-part legislative package that includes a program to guide families seeking services and care, increased awareness among first responders, and housing for adults with ASD. New Jersey has the highest rate of autism in the United States.DJF has shared its findings and problem-solving ideas about adult issues with organizations that previously only focused on children or medical/diagnostic research. The foundation takes a unique hands-on approach towards awarding grants, often reaching out to service providers and then helping them develop the programs it funds. “Awarding the grant is only part of our story,” explains Walder Fiddle. “DJF is committed to identifying and filling the gaps in services for adults with ASD. Our ideas inspire the majority of the projects we fund and often ignite the entire process.”For 2010, DJF has developed a new level of program development and funding, known as The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Signature Grant Programs. This represents an exciting direction in the foundation’s commitment to developing and awarding grants to exemplary and replicable programs that address critical needs and gaps in services and supports for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In 2010, DJF will launch coast-to-coast collaborations with organizations that its Board of Trustees and Advisors believe to be among the premiere providers of programming for adolescents and adults with ASD in the U.S.Each DJF Signature Grant Program will address specific needs that the foundation has determined are best suited to successful development and implementation. Several of the 2010 programs are new and innovative projects to the world of ASD, and the foundation aspires for them to open up new opportunities for adults with this challenge. Other 2010 programs represent core grassroots initiatives that DJF has previously developed and supported and that they will help expand to serve more people, also with the goal of replication in other communities. DJF's focus and expertise in developing programs for adolescents and adults with ASD has led them to the realization that replicable programs take time to develop and refine, so each of the DJF Signature Grant Programs have the foundation’s commitment of ongoing future support contingent upon an annual review by the Board of Trustees.The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation relies upon the guidance of individuals with autism to assist them in program development. To that end, the foundation created a Self-Advocate Advisory Board composed of individuals on the spectrum in order to make a clear statement about how much their insights are valued, respected and needed. DJF’s self-advocates are helping to shape their own futures by guiding the foundation in developing and supporting programs that enhance their lives. Current members of the Self-Advocate Advisory Board include: Amy Gravino, Paul Voss and Stephen Daly.It is the guiding principle of DJF is that it is an attainable goal for each individual with autism to reach their fullest potential.".
