We’re Hiring, Join CIS!

Happy Autism Awareness and Autism Acceptance Month

by | Apr 1, 2024 | General, News, Participant Stories - 2024

April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! It’s a great opportunity to spread awareness of what autism is, and tell the stories of people who are autistic, like Greg, an author and advocate (and CIS participant!) who was recently featured on 6ABC (see link in bio).

Not only does CIS support hundreds of people with autism who are thriving at their jobs with employers throughout Philadelphia and Delaware, but we also help local high schoolers with autism prepare for employment after graduation. The cumulative effect is more diverse workplaces that better reflect the diversity of our communities and help combat misperceptions of people with autism.

Throughout April, keep an eye on our profile as we share stories that celebrate some of the many people with autism who CIS supports. Happy Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, everyone!
