<\/p>\nInclusion is essential to a creative, supportive, and meaningful Sophos Life. We champion inclusion within our company and in the communities where we operate.<\/p>\n
During Autism Awareness Month, our Abingdon office is showcasing Artwork by Max<\/a>, a local artist who is autistic and non-verbal. Visitors to the Abingdon office can view a new pop-up art display in the atrium.<\/p>\n Painting has given Max a voice to express himself and focus on what he can do and achieve. He communicates using PECs (picture exchange communication system) using symbols to help in understanding and communicating with others.\u00a0His work helps fundraise for the National Autistic Society to help make a real difference in the lives of those affected by autism.<\/p>\n The exhibition doesn\u2019t just brighten up the office space, it also provides an opportunity for our team to celebrate Max\u2019s unique talent and give back to the National Autistic Society.<\/p>\n We are honoured to celebrate and showcase Max\u2019s work.
