Dear NAS63129,
Thank you for sharing your concern with the community. I hope you'll pass your probation successfully! I'm sharing some links that relate to job opportunities, just in case:
The British Association of Supported Employment, who have a database of supported employment agencies so that you can search for one in your local area: www.base-uk.org
Remploy, an organisation which supports people with disabilities and those experiencing complex barriers to work into mainstream employment: www.remploy.co.uk
https://myplusstudentsclub.com/ is also a good website to look at. It is a site where employers advertise their opportunities for people with disabilities and provide information about disability and inclusive practices within their organisations. This is a good way to identify companies which will be keen to put in place reasonable adjustments for interviews and throughout employment.
I have also included a link to our job page –www.autism.org.uk/.../work-for-us.
Within this page, you can click on our job and volunteering page to find out about our current employment and volunteering opportunities with The National Autistic Society. We particularly welcome applications from autistic people.
Volunteering can often be a good way to gain relevant experience and skills for future employment. Your local volunteer centre may be able to assist with finding a volunteer placement. You can search for volunteer placements at https://do-it.org/.
Finally, you can find more information about seeking a job and about your rights in work here: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/employment
Thank you, and all the best!
