ABC13 job fair sees how employers are adapting to those with autism
April is Autism Awareness Month, and this week, Peak Performers joined to share advice and different services available to help people with autism find jobs.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- April is Autism Awareness Month, and our ABC13 Who's Hiring job fair with Workforce Solutions featured guests sharing advice and different services available to help people with autism find jobs.

You can watch this week's job fair in the video player above.

The CDC said one in 36 children are diagnosed with autism. Later in life, it can impact people looking for jobs because people with autism are impacted by things such as light and sound.

On Thursday, we explored what employers are doing to work with people with autism. We had someone from Peak Performers, and Texas Workforce Commission vocational rehabilitation services join us on the stream.

If you're looking for a job, we included several immediate hire positions in industries like warehousing, welding, and automotive.

Job seekers can call the ABC13 hotline powered by Workforce Solutions at 713-243-6663.

To see the jobs, visit Workforce Solutions' website and look for the "as seen on ABC13" section.
