Today is World Autism Awareness Day. We talk with Project Onward, a Chicago-based organization that provides artists with autism and other disabilities a workspace where they can create and sell their art. When Rob Lentz helped launch Project Onward 11 years ago, he only had six artists. Now, he has 55. He joins us in studio with more.
