Is there anyone who is self-employed?

Leona26

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about self-employment in the autistic community. We often hear about barriers to employment, but not as much about autistic people starting their own businesses or being self-employed. 

  • Do you know some programs that can offer entrepreneurial training for autistic people?

  • Is it that the stories just aren’t being shared enough?

  • How can we get funds?

  • I don't know, I just did a hairdressing course and started touting for business, being a sole trader isn't hard, I'd be dubious about recomending anything that purports to be about helping people into self employment, I looked at quite a few of these and most seemed like ways of taking peoples redundancy money from them.
