WHEREAS, Mr. Mains is an advocate for individuals with autism, including one of
CRC's outstanding employees, Seth Bode; CRC Global Solutions hosted an event
recognizing World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, 2019, in Kenner, Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, April is National Autism Awareness Month, the aim of which is to
educate the public about autism or autism spectrum disorder, which refers to a broad range
of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, and speech
and nonverbal communication; and
WHEREAS, thirty-five percent of young adults aged nineteen to twenty-three
diagnosed with autism are not employed and are eager and excited to work, but struggle to
fit into a hiring and recruitment process that is fundamentally social; and
WHEREAS, an increased number of organizations are establishing hiring and
recruiting campaigns with the large population of potential employees in mind; there is a
need for more employers to update their hiring processes and training programs to include
autistic employees, as well as to raise awareness of autism; and
WHEREAS, hiring a diverse workforce, including those with autism, offers benefits
to organizations and those individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.
