Welcome to Autism Spa, a service of the Afshar Group!
Shahriar Afshar | CEO & Founder
My life’s passion has always been bridge building, economic empowerment, public engagement, elevating the disenfranchised, embracing technology & innovation and advancing social entrepreneurship. That’s why I created the Afshar Group.
During my 25 years in government, I led $500 million waterfront development projects, established new departments like Development Services and Government & Civic Relations and built diverse and multi-disciplinary A-teams. I was a public speaker at countless trade, professional and civic groups, and a spokesperson with the mainstream TV/print media. I hosted visiting foreign dignitaries and built regional and national grassroots advocacy campaigns to engage civic leaders and members of the US Congress. I worked with Fortune 100 companies to advance free trade and economic diplomacy in Washington, DC. I am an active board member with several nonprofits and continue to support philanthropic causes at every opportunity.
Through my career, I was fortunate to build many lasting relationships worldwide, learned a lot of valuable lessons and I hope, had a positive impact on the lives of the people I touched and the communities I built.
Nowadays, I think of myself as a recovering bureaucrat practicing social entrepreneurship in public engagement, transformational technology and Autism awareness, while fighting food insecurity, by creating a network of podcasts channels like Autism Spa!
