According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 7.6 percent of Riverside County residents and 7.5 percent of San Bernardino County residents under age 65 have some type of disability.

In part because of sobering statistics about employment for disabled adults, there is a program based in Massachusetts that helps high school graduates with autism spectrum disorder make the difficult transition to higher education and the workforce.
