Tallahassee nonprofit helps youth with autism build job skills
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Infinite Spectrum Foundation is a nonprofit working to turn creativity into careers for youth on the autism spectrum.
Founder Juming Delmas launched the organization in 2024 after his son was diagnosed with autism in 2021.
“Prior to my son being diagnosed, I didn’t even know what autism was,” Delmas said.
He said the diagnosis brought confusion and fear about what the future might hold.
“My original emotion was anger for sure. I know how cruel the world can be, and so it’s the idea of knowing that my kid could face that,” Delmas said.
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.

Autism affects 1 in 31 children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Delmas said the program is designed to help participants strengthen both technical and communication skills while building a sense of belonging.
“They lack communication skills. That’s the biggest thing. They don’t understand social cues or what have you, but they know how to work, and they’re super, super smart,” Delmas said.
Delmas said the foundation keeps its social media 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’s social media pages as well.
