THE WHY
Fewer than one in six autistic adults are in full-time employment
Under 16% of survey participants have full-time paid work.
A further one in six have part-time work
The survey finds that 16% are in part-time employment.
In all, less than a third of autistic adults have any kind of paid work
Only 32% are in some kind of paid work, compared with 47% of disabled people and 80% of non-disabled people.
And yet the vast majority do want a job
Over three-quarters (77%) who are unemployed say they want to work.
