  • Autism in the Workplace
    Employ Autism: From School to Work Autism in the Workplace Untold Stories Untapped Talent Edited by Jonathan Andrews FRSA Future Trainee Solicitor at Reed Smith 1 Introduction 1 Contents Morag Fraser - Autism and adjustments 2 Gareth - Autism in the workplace 3 Georgia Grainger 5 Jack Welch - Employment and disability 7 Craig - Working with autism 9 Becky 10 George Harvey 11 Fern Adams 13 Alex Lowery 15 Dami Benbow 17 Anonymous 19 Garry Burge 20 Conclusion 21 By Jonathan Andrews FRSA, editor Jonathan Andrews is a Future Trainee Solicitor Introduction at Reed Smith and an Ambitious about Autism Youth Patron It’s tempting to think that autism is not something employers need to worry about – that people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are either super-smart and hyper-capable, able to excel in their “special interest” area (almost exclusively STEM-based) without any adjustments or understanding, or too “low-functioning” to work and not worth worrying about. It’s through this prism that autism is often viewed in the media – but it is far too simplistic, and most do not fit these extremes. Rather, autism is a spectrum, with differing levels of ability, and with autistic people being skilled in, and attracted to, many different roles. I felt it important to emphasise this wide range of talent and interest within the autistic spectrum because it’s something all employers need to look out for and be aware of – there really is no sector which someone with autism won’t be interested in. As such, this booklet is a collection of a diverse group of people throughout the UK, each from a different walk of life; all have an ASD, but no two could be called identical and all have worked in very variant industries to each other.
