WATCH THE TRAILER

“Plight wisely juxtaposes character-driven comedy with dystopian world-building akin to settings in projects like The Road, The Last of Us, and Children of Men.”

— The Black List

National Autism Awareness and Outreach Campaign

Help redefine how the world sees autism—by bringing education, empathy, and representation into communities nationwide.

How to Get Involved

Autism diagnoses are rising—now affecting 1 in 36 children in the U.S. (CDC, 2023)

Rural and underserved communities often lack any autism diagnostic or support services—causing delays of 2–5 years in getting support (CDC, 2022)
39 states have reported budget shortfalls affecting disability services, including autism-related programs (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2023)

WHY THIS MATTERS

Over 5.4 million adults in the U.S. are on the autism spectrum, yet services for autistic individuals often drop dramatically after age 21
Autistic individuals face an 85% unemployment rate, even though many have skills highly sought after in industries like technology, engineering, and the arts.

WHY WE MADE THIS FILM

We’re proud to collaborate with leading organizations to amplify the impact of Plight. Throughout the campaign, we’ll highlight resources from groups like the Autism Society, Autism Research Institute, Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration, and other local organizations that share our mission of inclusion and authentic representation.
