Asperger's and Unemployment statistics?

Jon

I was just trying to find some statistics online to indicate how many people with Aspergers are employed. I think I read a stat somewhere of 20% in full-time employment but I am not sure where. There are probably also going to be undiagnosed people who not included though.

Are you working? If you are do you enjoy it? Is it something that relates your interests? Would you really like to be doing something else?

  • Hi Muckworm,

    I think it is true that many people with AS are doing jobs that don't really match their abilities. Its a difficult problem. If only there was an 'AS Employment agency' :-)

    I dont think people always appreciate how difficult the social side of working can be. The 'chat' that humans do sometimes seem to be very good for both getting the job and being succesful in the job.
