Welcome to the
Humanities 101 Foundation
The Humanities 101 Foundation was founded by and for autistic individuals. We celebrate human diversity and the human experience by exploring and appreciating stories and experiences to cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and a deeper connection for all humans.
We offer human-centered research and support to harness the untapped potential and ultimately illuminate the beauty of the human experience through compassion and understanding.
We strive to provide neurodivergent inclusion and acceptance education and outreach to the global community. We also seek to provide support and resources to autists, their families, and their communities. We believe that access and belonging leads to a stronger community.
“Humanities 101 Foundation is a local autism education outreach charity that seeks to raise awareness about autism, support people with autism and their families, and aids organizations in fostering an inclusive community.”
“Dr. Hazlett was awesome! It was great learning about neurodiversity and his story is incredible as well. Fantastic speaker! Would definitely hire again.”

Commitment to Neurodiversity Inclusion
The National Institute of Health estimates that 15-20% of the world’s population is neurodiverse. Neurodiversity includes disorders like ADHD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, and Tourette’s (just to name a few). This means that there are 1.2 to 1.6 BILLION neurodiverse humans on our globe.
Those humans are employees, citizens, and a number of other stakeholders. Both the private and public sectors need to embrace the “new normal of no normal” as they navigate their way through the 21st Century.
We at Humanities101 have over two decades of academic experience in human-center studies. We with all levels of organizations to bring a human-centered focus to their projects, products, and services.
