graduates with asperegers forgotten

ALADDIN

Many people with AS will have great difficulty obtaining employment.

The situation for graduates with is worse, especially outside London. In addition people with aspergers have problems but graduates are over-qualified non - graduate jobs or their neuro - diverse profile makes them unsuitable.

Support from the government is tailored towards people with few qualifications.

In London, there are more companies, a better chance of understanding, better services.

There is no real support for adults with AS to obtain well paid long term career related jobs.

  • Hello Aladdin and welcome to the community.  I'm sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult to get support with employment - perhaps some members have found services that are helpful and could share these.

    You may be aware that the NAS has an employment and training service called Prospects and also runs a scheme to support graduates looking for work.  I'm not sure of the area where you live and whether these may be suitable to you but you may find some of the general information on the webpages useful or the service may be of interest to other members.
