I am pleased to see the steady evolution of “Autism Awareness Month” to “Autism Acceptance Month,” as what really needs to be celebrated are the enormous contributions of people with autism to our society.
The Educational Services Commission of New Jersey proudly operates a post-age-21 program known as Adult Community Services, in which we teach young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities about life skills and direct them into competitive employment. Through this skills program, people 21 and older have been able to hone their talents in the workplace while earning a paycheck to be self-sustainable.
