THE RAIN MAIN EFFECT:
STAFF AND PARTICIPANTS OF YAP'S ALLEGHENY AUTISM PROGRAM CREATE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE FILM RAIN MAN
"The Rain Man Effect" is a documentary that explores how the film of the same name created an unrealistic and inaccurate understanding of Autism that has led to stigmas, generalizations, and stereotypes that negatively impact people with Autism in many ways, perhaps most significantly in the realm of employment.
The movie was fiction, but the effects are real…the time to advocate is now.
