Autism Fits BrochureThe Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at the University of South Florida can assist you with any and all of these tasks at no cost. You are probably saying to yourself, "What do people with autism have to do with my business?" The fact is that an estimated 25,000 people with autism live in and around the Tampa Bay region. They want to be a consumer of your products, visit your businesses, or be employed by you.
