A Dad, John D’Eri, and a big brother, Tom D’Eri, realized that with the end of high school, Andrew, would have very little meaningful engagement in his life – with no hope of that changing.
Andrew D’Eri has autism, and while his is high functioning, he would struggle finding and keeping a job after high school.
They did not want him to be idle and without a purpose to his days.
There are real gaps in the services and support that a community gives to adults who are on the spectrum.
That is when the D’Eri’s decided to use what others might see as a disability – the need that many with autism have for structure, repetitive tasks, attention to detail, etc. – and create a job just for him, and others in his position.
The Rising Tide Car Wash was created.
