A North East charity is launching a campaign to create 1,000 vital employment opportunities for autistic people in the region.
Only three in 10 autistic people are in work – the lowest rate of any disability group – even though three-quarters of unemployed autistic people say they want a job.
Now the North East Autism Society (NEAS) is calling on businesses to open up new routes into work for neurodivergent people and think differently about their hiring practices and in-work support.
