What, in your view, needs to change with regards to employment opportunities for people with AS?
One of the main problems is the ethics of society.
Business is sales dominated, sales people are seen as chatty, persuasive and money motivated, and driven by a desire to be rich and "sucessful".
Many autistic people just want to be honest and helpful, concentrate on one thing and be good at that.
Business doesnt want experts, it wants people who can sell themselves as experts.
Often the manipulative people end up in charge, this means a lot of the decisions about environment, ethics etc are made by the wrong people.
So a lot of autistic people find the business culture alien and unpleasant, maybe intolerable.
