Employment

 

 

Autistic people bring unique qualities and diverse perspectives to the workplace and we are working across the UK to ensure that these individuals can gain employment experience.

Through our employability programmes we:

  • act as a bridge to employment for autistic people by removing barriers
  • work with employers to enable them to access a pool of uniquely talented and innovative autistic employees 
  • support organisations to increase their confidence in autism and neurodiversity in the workplace
  • promote paid experiences of work for autistic people through regional networks
  • provide training, resources, and ongoing mentorship to a wide network of partners across the UK.

 

The challenge

Many autistic people are able and willing to work, yet the numbers that are able to do that are shockingly low - 29% of autistic people are in full or part-time employment, even though the vast majority want to work.
