Autism

People with autism face significant employment challenges on a global scale. The participation rate of adults with autism in the labour market is low (Patton, 2018; ‘Career progression for autistic people: A scoping review’ by Davies, Romualdez, and Remington, 2024). Even autistics with mild challenges in the workplace show an unemployment rate of 80 per cent. How is it possible that the participation rate is so low?
