A Greece family was under the impression that Jason McElwain, also known as J-Mac, was denied a job through the Catholic Charities Community Services because of his autism.

Catholic Charities shared in a statement with Spectrum News: "Mr. McElwain and my communications director have been in contact today, and he now knows that he should be expecting his paperwork on Monday. We look forward to a successful work experience with him."

"I'm blessed that justice was served and that it was just a misunderstanding," said J-Mac via a phone interview with Spectrum News on Saturday. "I'm happy to work with the family."

Janine and Rich Houseman of Greece sought to hire J-Mac through Catholic Charities for Janine’s 11-year-old son Matthew Helfer, who also has autism.

The Housemans originally said they had received a letter from the organization stating that J-Mac was ineligible for the job because he had IEP diploma instead of a traditional high school diploma.

"While we are glad that Catholic Charities has decided to “modify” their employment requirements so that J-Mac can work with our son, we think the system as a whole needs to be modified and changed so that hiring policies are inclusive and equitable for all race, gender and education levels," said Janine Houseman. "When applying for positions individuals skills and qualifications need to be considered in conjunction with education level!"
