John, did you know that October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month? Autism Speaks is recognizing this important month of solidarity with the autism community, and we're committed as ever to transforming employment opportunities for autistic individuals.

Are you with us? Because starting right now, through the end of the month, your gift will be 2X matched, up to $50,000, in honor of Disability Employment Month to provide twice as many autistic people with the tools and resources to find meaningful jobs. Donate today on Launch Day to make a world of difference >>

Only 1 in 5 people with disabilities, including autistic people, are employed across the country, John. That's in spite of many of these folks having the skills and real desire to get to work.

What's missing are unique supports and services that people on the spectrum need to make that leap into a new environment, as well as changes, both significant and subtle, that many employers need to make to create fully inclusive and welcoming workplaces.

We're launching our 2X match this October for Disability Employment Month to continue to help fill in those gaps. Join our bold employment inclusion movement with a 2X-matched gift today to deliver the FREE resources, tools, trainings and more to help jobseekers with autism, employers and communities find opportunities to contribute and thrive.

Thank you for helping if you can, John,

the Autism Speaks team
