No, I'm not aware of any organizations or resources for those in your
situation, but I am aware of a few cases similar to yours. One option
to consider is returning to school and seeking employment with a college
or university, where such backgrounds are less of a stigma. I'm sending
your post to a few people who might have some suggestions, and perhaps one
of them can contact you directly.
