Autism is associated with many qualities that are highly sought after by employers such as strong attention to detail, honesty and integrity, loyalty, logical thinking, creativity and analytical abilities. However, approximately 80% of autistic people are unemployed due both to a lack of understanding of neurodiversity from employers, and a lack of support for autistic jobseekers and employees.

This guide provides practical tools, strategies, and support to manage the difficulties that can arise when seeking and progressing with paid employment. Using a three stage approach, Charlotte Aldred helps neurodivergent individuals find long-term jobs which exploit their strengths and minimise their weaknesses, thereby increasing self-worth and reducing the chances of redundancy.

Covering everything from disclosure to transport and housing issues, this self-help guide is perfect for any autistic person looking for work that will meet their needs and allow them to succeed.
