A recently ONS parliamentary briefing revealed that 82.7% of working age adults are in employment in the UK. This drops to just 53.7% of disabled people[1]. Most alarmingly research from @Autistica shows UK autistic employment is hardest hit and currently stands at just 21.7% of UK autistic adults in employment [2]. With this in mind it is so very important that we reach out and get support if we feel we need it 🙂
