Employment

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

  • Another thing is employment agencies.

    They seem to have one image of the perfect candidate,

    and it doesnt fit autistic people.

    Agencies want long continuous work history, good with people, comes across confident at interviews, good at twisting the facts so they look good.

    I have never seen a job ad that wants someone thats focused, doesnt suffer fools, doesnt waste time chatting, and is true and direct in expressing their opinions of others.
