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 AspieMum, sorry for not getting straight back - i have just been trying to manage everything....

    Thanks for the link. Hopefully I won't need legal input - but who knows?

    I am still off work but there is finally an OH appt in my workplace next Thursday. i am dreading it and also dreading going bacl to work. But I know I need to have some sort of secure income and this seems to be all I can think of doing.

    Have you discussed with your son what other options for work he might like? maybe something related to his interests/ Or would it be possible for him to get some further education or training that would help him do what he might like. Maybe his job just isn't the one for him and never will be?
