For young people on the autism spectrum, it can be incredibly difficult to find gainful employment. Furthermore, the negative stigma associated with the condition only exacerbates the issue. However, one young man and his parents are helping to address the problem through their non-profit granola company, Luv Michael.

Michael Kessaris is 21 years old, and is a native of Port Washington, New York. Ever since he was a teenager, he would help his mother, Lisa Liberatore, with prep work for family dinners and entertaining guests.
