After all, too many autistic people who want to work, and are physically able to do so, are out of work. This means we’re much less able to support ourselves and live an independent life, and often all because our behaviour is just that tiny bit different from the established norm. Thousands if not millions of individuals are struggling to get by because too many employers lack any kind of understanding of what autism is. This is not a problem with the autistic community; it’s a problem with the work community.
