Autistic Workplace Bullying.

Why you should tackle the bullying of Autistic people in the workplace, and how to do it.

Autistic people have some of the lowest employment rates globally of any minority group. As some examples: 85% are unemployed in the US, 78% in the UK and 60% in Australia.

Contrary to what you might initially believe, these figures often has little to do with an Autistic persons ability to perform a job. Often it is the difficulty experiences in relationships with allistic (non-autistic) people that cause Autistic people to leave the workforce. The stigma associated with autism and the judgement around autistic traits follow Autistic people wherever they go, including the workplace.
