About

“This Business Of Autism” is a expository documentary film about the economic and societal benefits of employing young adults with Autism. Centered around the acquisition, construction and launch of Spectrum Designs’ new production facility in Port Washington, New York—a custom screen printing and embroidery business—the film will address the positive impacts of developing profitable businesses while leveraging the unique capabilities of Autistic adults. By confronting head-on the reality that an estimated 70% to 90% of Autistic adults are unemployed, these businesses can also provide large companies with an avenue for corporate social outreach, mitigate the economic impacts on local communities of housing and caring for Autistic adults, and provide hope for families that their children might have sustainable, relevant and stimulating employment opportunities.
