Celebrating Our Differences In honor of National Autism Awareness Month, Jack’s Place is celebrating three of the most prolific creators of the 20th century. Albert Einstein, Alfred Hitchcock, and Charles Schulz, each believed to be on the autism spectrum, harnessed their unique minds to contribute wonderful works to humanity. Their caricatures hang at the entrance and tables 14 and 15, respectively.
