About one in 100 children are diagnosed with Autism, according to the World Health Organization, and this business owner is making sure they aren’t left out.
Co-Founder John Lee Cronin of “John’s Crazy Socks” told ABC News, “It’s very important to us that I like hiring people with Autism.”
John owns the world’s biggest sock store with 4,000 different choices and donates money from his sales to help with Autism awareness efforts.
John has also hired 22 people that all have different abilities, most of whom have Autism.
“It’s part of our mission to show what’s possible. We wanna show every day what people with different abilities can do,” Mark Cronin, John’s father added.
He shared that their goal is to show that their business can succeed because of whom they hire.
Regardless of our differences, God has created us all with the ability to do something for His glory.
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
