Library Item Name:

The level of unemployment among people on the autism spectrum is massive 		   
Summary Statement:

Because of poor social skills, sometimes because of limited communication skills, uneven abilities or other autism related issues, non-autistic people tend to get places at the front of the job queues. Socially, those on the spectrum are often the most socially isolated and have limited social networks to develop their interests and skills. But you donīt have to wait for the services. You can do something in the meantime. You can begin to create opportunities, then refine and develop your ideas.

For those of you who donīt know about www.auties.org its a FREE community service where teens and adults of ALL abilities who are on the autistic spectrum can put up a listing to:

a) list a product, service, skill they have or seek an autism friendly employer

(or employers/customers can find people on the autism spectrum to buy from/employ).

b) list a dinner club in their own local area they hope to get members for

(or those seeking to meet others on the spectrum can contact the person running the dinner club to inquire about attending).

c) list an activity around which theyīd like to form an activity club

(or look for someone with an activity that interests you in your area).
