Breaking Into Inclusion: Reimagining Autism in Entertainment // Judi Uttal # 12241
Description
How do we bridge the gap between neurodivergent talent and meaningful employment in Hollywood? In this episode of Breaking the Biz, we speak with Judi Uttal, president of the Orange County Asperger’s Support Group (OCASG) and founder of the Autism In Entertainment Workgroup. Drawing from a powerful mix of personal experience and professional insight, Judi shares how her advocacy work—spanning career training, policy reform, and industry partnerships—is opening doors for autistic individuals in the entertainment world. Judi also reflects on raising her son Josh, now a college graduate in Cinema and Television, and how his journey shaped her mission. This conversation shines a light on the future of inclusive hiring and the role entertainment can play in normalizing neurodiversity.
