About the film

Curious and earnest, Terrence (aka T-Man), a 26-year-old Black man with high functioning autism in Charlotte, North Carolina, has lived with his mother his whole life. He now feels ready to take the big step towards an independent life, including holding down a job and renting his own apartment, despite the many obstacles the world presents for autistic adults. When he is chosen to be part of a pilot program hiring people on the autism spectrum, the new income gives him the footing needed to seek independence.

However, Terrence finds himself encountering unexpected challenges as he enters the next chapter of his life. The relationship with his parents becomes strained, his job security through the pilot program remains in question, and he even finds himself in personal danger. Throughout everything that happens over a year and a half, Terrence maintains a laser focus on his ultimate goal.

Adventures of T-Man gives an honest, intimate, and unflinching look at navigating neuro-divergence.
