In Wilson, North Carolina, individuals with autism are proving every day that given the right support, they can pursue independence, achieve goals, and thrive in their communities. A local day program has been making headlines for helping people on the autism spectrum build real-life skills—from budgeting and hygiene to job applications and community engagement.

The stories of participants like Jeremy Cherry and Ronald James highlight just how powerful the right environment can be. They’re not just learning math or practicing laundry routines—they’re gaining the confidence to navigate the world and envision their futures.

The Heart of Autism Acceptance

This kind of hands-on skill-building is exactly what Autism Acceptance Month is about: not only recognizing the differences in how people with autism think and learn, but celebrating their talents, dreams, and potential. As one program director explained, autism is a spectrum, and every individual is unique. That uniqueness doesn’t limit them—it just means they need individualized support.

From horseback riding to volunteer work, these programs promote more than just development—they build joy, social connection, and purpose.
