Car Wash Offers Employment to Autistic Young Adults
At the Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Fla., most of the employees have one thing in common: they’ve been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.
As young adults they began to age out of the school system, with employment options in short supply. That’s why John D’Eri co-founded Rising Tide Car Wash: to give his son, and others on the autism spectrum, a place to earn a paycheck — and build a community.
Why not build a business with the prime objective of employing people with autism, he reasoned — not a charity or a "sheltered workshop" — but a business with the potential to keep growing.
