Autistic Adults’ Priorities for Future Autism Employment Research
Davies et al. (2025)

crae.ioe.ac.uk/autis...
#SummarisedByHumans

Two purple circles add context — that employment research often focuses on getting people into work but overlooks career progression, and that despite 22% of autistic adults in the UK being employed, many feel stuck in roles that don't reflect their skills or potential.
