With the phenomenal increase in the prevalence of autism in the world today, there will be increasingly more adults on the autism spectrum entering the workforce. With an estimated 50,000 young people with autism reaching the typical working age each year, this topic demands attention. The employment rate is low among adults with autism, although many are high functioning. Many of those adults will require understanding and perhaps simple modifications to become successful and important team members. Employers and co-workers may have the responsibility of hiring, training, and retaining employees with certain skills. Others will have a different challenge working side by side with a person who may think differently and act differently than you do. To have a successful work environment, both of those roles carry a heavy responsibility, understanding of a different perspective, and a loving spirit. The responsibility to keep this group of workers safe and productive requires a basic understanding of autism. Knowledge is power, and in this book, we offer you that knowledge.
