Employment

What, in your view, needs to change with regards to employment opportunities for people with AS?

Parents
  • Supported employment/education so that people are able to both realise and fulfill their potential.

    Help employers have a better understanding of Autism.

    I am not sure how this could be done.

    I think that people look at High-functioning/AS and assume that you are coping and able. From personal experience that is not always the case. You manage and cope but thats about it. Low confidence and a real fear of social interaction make it very hard to navigate the world of employment.

    Help, if any, seems to only result from after a crisis.
