Autism Speaks/Ad Council PSA: Closer to Home

Autism Speaks and the Advertising Council launched a new public service advertisement today that was created by BBDO. It aims to let the general public know that autism is more common than you think and is closer to home. The television PSA was directed by Oscar nominated director Lasse Halstrom who is behind Hollywood films such as What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Cider House Rules, Chocolat and, most recently, Dear John
