| Description: | Select Guide Rating People with autism often find themselves excluded from working life. This practical handbook lays out reasonable, achievable ways in which working environments can be adapted and autistic people included as valuable members of the workforce. Neurodiversity in the workplace can be a gift. Yet only 15% of adults with an autism spectrum condition (ASC) are in full-time employment. This book examines how the working environment can embrace people with autism in their lives in a positive way.The author highlights common challenges in the workplace for autistic people, such as discrimination and lack of communication or the right kind of support from managers and colleagues, and provides strategies for changing them. Setting out practical, reasonable adjustments such as a quiet room or avoiding disruption to work schedules, this book demonstrates how day to day changes in the workplace can make it more inclusive and productive for all employees.Autism in the Workplace is intended for any person with an interest in changing working culture to ensure equality for people with autism. It is an essential resource for employers, managers, trade unionists, people with ASCs and their workmates and supporters. |
