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.

  • Perhaps I was being too negative in my two postings about fitting in and about the current job market based on what happened last time.

    However having supported undergraduates on the spectrum and then seen them not finding work after graduation, and been to seminars and workshops where graduates on the spectrum are reporting the same problems, I do feel it is something NAS needs to look into more.

    While there are things like Prospects around, and some of the local groups that advocate for young graduates on the spectrum, as for example several in the Birmingham area, there are too many not finding secure employment.

    I guess the moderators need to put a positive spin on things, but this is an area that really needs some campaign initiatives.
