With 1% of the word population on the autistic spectrum and almost 50% of autistic people going through higher education it is important that businesses today, big and small, make adjustments for autistic people a key concern.

Autism is an often-misunderstood condition and because of this autistic people often find themselves malemployed (employed well bellow their skills and education). But this doesn’t have to be the case as autistic people can be some of the best employees a company may ever have.

Companies (including many major companies like Microsoft, SAP, and JP Morgan Chase) have begun to recognise the potential of autistic people and have been making an effort to employ more people on the spectrum.

A leader at JPMorgan Chase Bank stated:

“Our autistic employees achieve, on average, 48 percent to 140 percent more work than their typical colleagues, depending on the roles.”

That is a huge difference! And it is because they are managing autistic employees well.

In this course I invite you to think about autism and see how small adjustments can make a big impact.
