"Autism (or any disability) isn't a roadblock to success, it's just the scenic route"

Jerry Sutton, Founder and CEO

Founder and CEO Jerry Sutton says that the inspiration for the company came with his sons diagnosis of Autism.  "There were lots of emotions that we felt when we got the diagnosis, and none of them was gratitude or hope". It took Sutton a while to realize that despite the difficulties that his family would face, they still had a lot to be grateful for. In speaking with other parents of special needs children, it became apparent that there was a need for lightheartedness, despite the seriousness of their situations. "It's important for everyone, especially those with special needs, to believe that there is always hope. Autism (or any disability) isn't a roadblock to success, it's just the scenic route". 

In addition to encouraging donations and raising awareness, Ten Ten plans to employ only the disabled and the disadvantaged. Although no conversations have taken place yet, the company plans to work closely with the Baltimore County Commission on Disabilities as well as the Baltimore County Division of Workforce Development.
