The link in the original post doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what company this was, or how else to find them -- or any other, similar company located on Long Island or elsewhere in the NYC metro area?

They're sponsored by Autism Speaks or they sponsor Autism Speaks. Do the autistic employees only do the packing? Or are the managers and higher ups all NT's?
