This podcast explores recently published research on a number of different neurodivergent types. This season I am talking about autism, and in this episode I will go over some recent research on autism in the workplace, and some occupational factors for autistic people. This episode is split into two parts because of the amount of recent research I found on this topic. Find out why only 16% of autistic adults in UK are in full time paid employment according to The National Autistic Society in 2016, and that 77% of autistic people want to work but cannot find employment. No AI was used in the production of this podcast.
