Volunteer Newsletter March 2022
In this issue we wanted to do our bit to help raise awareness of autism. It might surprise you to know that around 1 in 100 people in Scotland are autistic.
Every autistic person has skills, talents and aspirations and yet only about 20% of people on the autism spectrum are in employment. By being more aware of an autistic person’s development and needs, we will be better able to support them.
We understand that adjustments may have to be made to workplaces and work practices to accommodate people with autism but often is not the existence of physical or practical barriers that exclude, it’s issues around acceptance.
