Summer Internship program with Freddie Mac

With our first round of internships underway, we are seeking additional autistic applicants to intern with Freddie Mac for summer 2012.

We are very excited to see that our first interns are on their way with great support by their managers and human resources at Freddie Mac. This has led the pilot program between Freddie Mac and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network to continue on and make available two more intern positions for autistic adults for the upcoming summer.

Interested parties must be able to work in the Washington, DC metro area. Internships are paid positions and will include a small housing stipend.

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) is a non-profit organization run by and for Autistic people, fighting for disability rights in the world of autism. Working in fields such as public policy, media representation, research and systems change, ASAN hopes to empower Autistic people across the world to take control of their own lives and the future of our common community.

I think there's a lot of potential to this kind of approach.

One, people on the spectrum can be strong on the technical aspects.

Two, we can be plenty good enough on the social aspects.
