Autism and jobs

Here we provide information to support you in your employment.

Some autistic people are still able to work, you may just need help from your employer (the person you work for).

The National Autistic Society have some support information to help you whilst you are working, including adapting to the workplace.

Although they don’t provide specific information or support for autistic people, the National Careers Service can offer generic advice on getting a job, they have a telephone number you could call, or you can chat to them online.

They also have information on their website about applying for jobs, including how to answer some common interview questions, how to write a CV and much more. 

The National Autistic Society also has some information for people employing autistic people.  

The below video shows a young person with autism and how she went through the education system to go on to get a job.
