Abstract

The statistics for employment for individuals with autism are grim: the vast majority are either unemployed or underemployed, working for low pay with limited hours. Barb Cook identifies some of the barriers to employment, with recommendations for both people with autism and employers. For clients on the autism spectrum, Cook recommends anxiety management, with a wonderfully illustrative case example of mindfulness-based therapy, including phone apps to help with anxiety management. For employers, Cook suggests that administrators recognize the talents that employees with autism typically bring to the table: out-of-the-box thinking, loyalty, hard work, and dedication. There are some simple accommodations that employers could offer, with a specific case scenario regarding sensory concerns at work.
