According to the National Autistic Society site, only 12% of people with AS and HFA are in full-time employment. When I read that, I was honestly shocked. I mean, if you were including LFA in that I might understand, but even it's low... But for only 12% of Aspies and HFAies to be in full-time employment is really shocking.
But, why? Why is this? Is it because we don't have the social skills to deal with offices?Are we just really bad at interviews? Do we really have that much trouble being independant?
I think it's discrimination.
Remember, there are people like me who refuse to tell others about my condition so that they don't fire or refuse to hire me. If they knew, I will be very likely among that 88%
