The Change-Makers
Individuals with autism also fall into a marginalized group. They face stigmatization and discrimination. They have been excluded from employment opportunities, misunderstood, and subjected to harmful stereotypes. It’s time for change makers to make a difference for individuals on the spectrum seeking employment.
But you don’t look autistic…
Don’t assume all autistic individuals will present the same way. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it manifests differently in each individual. Some individuals may exhibit more visible characteristics, such as repetitive behaviors or difficulties with social interactions, while others may present with less obvious traits. For individuals who fall into the latter category, this can lead to misconceptions and challenges.
