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.
