TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Infinite Spectrum Foundation is a nonprofit working to turn creativity into careers for youth on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n
Founder Juming Delmas launched the organization in 2024 after his son was diagnosed with autism in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrior to my son being diagnosed, I didn\u2019t even know what autism was,\u201d Delmas said.<\/p>\n
He said the diagnosis brought confusion and fear about what the future might hold.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy original emotion was anger for sure. I know how cruel the world can be, and so it\u2019s the idea of knowing that my kid could face that,\u201d Delmas said.<\/p>\n
Now, the foundation is preparing to welcome youth ages 11 to 22 for its first summer program. The hands-on courses will focus on filmmaking, podcast production and digital marketing skills designed to translate into careers.<\/p>\n

Autism affects 1 in 31 children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n
Delmas said the program is designed to help participants strengthen both technical and communication skills while building a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey lack communication skills. That\u2019s the biggest thing. They don\u2019t understand social cues or what have you, but they know how to work, and they\u2019re super, super smart,\u201d Delmas said.<\/p>\n
Delmas said the foundation keeps its social media<\/a> up to date with details on upcoming events. He said more information on how to enroll in the summer program can be found on the foundation\u2019s social media pages as well. <\/p>\n To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Nextdoor<\/a> <\/a>and X<\/a> (Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Have a news tip or see an error?
