Actors for Autism

Actors for Autism is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to the the advancement, education, and training of people on the autistic spectrum. We fulfill this mission by providing new and innovative programs in the Arts, Film & Television, Animation, Visual Effects and Video Game Industries. We believe that people on the autistic spectrum should live as integrated members of society.  Inclusion should be a reality, not a dream.

Actors for Autism provides acting classes online with live instructors to individuals who are interested in working in the entertainment industry. All of our classes are for adults ages 18 and over. Classes are held virtually on Saturdays by professional working actors.

As a result of our training, our students have appeared in major television and films. If interested in becoming a student of this program, you can apply here: https://bit.ly/390u3l3
