Autism & Employment
Employment can be very difficult for people on the spectrum. This can be to do with many factors of work such as sensory issues, communication issues and understanding what the staff want out of the person with Autism in terms of work productivity for example.
Remember that work and achievement are important for people on the spectrum and the students will need a lot of specific support from staff and also the people within the workplace. Here are some ways to help the students achieve this.
• What would they like to do? Give them options remember “bottom up” thinking (T.Grandin) and giving the students clear concepts
• Assisting them with understanding application forms and information sharing. The students may need assistance with filling out these forms from a staff member. This will take time to do because of processing receptive and expressive language
Job Interviews
I believe that everyone on the Autistic spectrum deserves the chance to have a job. Interviews should also be person centred with help from the staff. Sensory considerations and information processing should be taken into account.
