Autism at Work

People within the Aspergers autistic community and of similar neurodivergent profiles often struggle within the workplace. It has been reported that unemployment and underemployment rate for the Aspergers/autistic community is staggering compared to any other communities. That is why we are announcing our in person and online Autism at Work panel: centred around Autism Awareness Month and sharing work experiences regarding neurodiversity within work.

Autism Awareness Month this year is promoting raising awareness, acceptance and inclusion of autism. AV is proud to say this panel will be in conjunction with ANZ and will focus on autistic experiences, knowledge and inclusion.

We will have guest speakers joining us in this in person and online event to share their personal and professional experience of their career lives! Listen to our panel share their stories, tips and advice for anyone with a career, seeking a career or wanting a change. This event is suitable for attendees of all ages who have a personal or professional interest in this topic.
