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?

  • I heard it was 15%. But that stat also includes the low functioning people and the people on the spectrum who can't work due to their other disabilities.

    There was a survey done at the local Autism support group and 85% are in employment.

    I currently don't work. Partly due to my Autism and partly due to my other disabilities.
