Autistic Owned Businesses and Other Self Employed Autistics (http://youtube.com/watch?v=S2BqZkS7ubg)

his is but a very small sample of autistic owned businesses. Like neurotypical people, some autistic people have been successful operating their own businesses rather than working for someone else. Being self employed allows these autistic people the freedome to work and earn a living without having to act "neurotypical" or fear for their jobs because of their autism and how others in the office may react to them. Of course, not all autistic people are able or capable of what these people have accomplished. But, whenever you hear of a study that says that autistic people are a "financial" drain on society or the "costs of autism over a lifetime" nonsense, then keep this video in mind and realize that there are a number of autistic people both self employed and employed that work, pay taxes AND raise children.
