Stopping autistic failure at work
What all the autism@work and neurodiversity programs are missing is the already employed autistic people, most not self-identified, who are failing at work. How do we find them and help them succeed before they turn into more unemployment and underemployment statistics?
It's not unusual to see Autistic folk with multiple degrees but massive holes in their working history due to lack of basic accommodations

Also not unusual seeing the same Autistic folk blaming themselves for their perceived lack of employability
Some much wasted talent
What we need are how-not-to-fail@work programs.
