From Silence to Soap: An Entrepreneur with Asperger’s Shares His Journey
Entrepreneur Spencer Kelly, a 16 year old with Asperger’s syndrome, discusses how he developed his own company, Expedition Soaps.
I am Spencer Kelly and I have Asperger syndrome. I live in Lake Orion, MI. I am a sixteen-year-old, 11th grade student, that homeschools high school and dual-enrolls at Oakland University. My favorite school subjects are history, physics, politics, and business. In my free time, I talk with friends, bike ride and play strategic games. I launched my own handmade organic Shea Butter soap business, The Expedition Soap Company, on September 1st last year. My business has grown to be quite a success, and it culminated this past August when I was a panelist speaker at The World Conference for Autism.
