RESEARCH: AUTISM IN THE WORKPLACE
Take part in this online survey.
Change is needed
At the moment only 3 in 10 autistic people of working age are in employment. This means that 7 in 10 of them are unable to access the independence and fulfilment that employment can bring. It also means that employers, and the wider economy, are missing out on the skills and energy that autistic people could be contributing, to the detriment of us all.
According to the ONS only 22% of autistic people are in any kind of employment and only 16% work full-time. We want to work, but often face adversity in the workplace, a lack of reasonable adjustments and subsequent autistic burnout.
