We are excited to share these employer resources from our parent organization, the Autism Society, and another affiliate organization, the Autism Society of Minnesota. These resources offer tools and strategies for employers from autism basics to strategies for employers and ASD staff. Although they are geared toward employers, they may offer parents, caregivers, and Autism Spectrum adults pertinent insights into what to expect with employment.

It also addresses the need for work accommodations, how to clarify job expectations, and working with a job coach, with much more. Check out the Autism Guide here.
