INSIDE THE AUTISTIC WORKFORCE SURVEY: RESOURCE DASHBOARD
Thank you for your support in sharing NEXT for AUTISM's  survey, "Inside the Autistic Workforce: A National Survey of Autistic Employees on Their Workplace Experience--and What Employers Need to Know." The survey was developed by NEXT for AUTISM in partnership with Sago and funded by the Anita Bhatia Foundation for Tomorrow.
The report offers one of the most comprehensive looks to date at workplace experiences from autistic employees themselves – highlighting both the strengths autistic professionals bring to the workforce and the day-to-day challenges that still exist around communication, disclosure, support, and belonging.
