Autism / Employability and “Phenomenal Talent”

Peter Bell with Autism Speaks spoke of the employability of individuals with autism during a visit to Exceptional Minds vocational school for young adults on the autism spectrum last month.

“Most of the world doesn’t know yet that there is phenomenal talent here in Sherman Oaks, in this room,“ said Peter Bell to a roomful of eager Exceptional Minds students, who are all young adults on the autism spectrum enrolled in Exceptional Minds’ three-year vocational program and well on their way to pursuing meaningful careers in video animation, film post-production and computer graphics.

“It is incredible how far this program has come,” added Bell, who is the Executive Vice President for Programs and Services for Autism Speaks.
