VIDEO: HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS!

Have you heard the phrase “Nothing about us without us?” This is the cry of many
people with disabilities around the globe who want their voices to be heard when
it comes to disability issues like employment, access, and policy development.

People with autism are part of this disability movement too, and Neurodiversity
Hub has captured their expertise by asking them what they’d like their employers
to know about helping them succeed in work environments. Here are a few of their
recommendations:



Treat them as individuals. Autistic people are not all the same even if they
have some of the same traits.



Write it down. Written communication is more effective because autistic
employees have time to process the information.



Be literal. Unspoken social cues, innuendo, and sarcasm can be really confusing,
so say what you mean so everyone can follow along.



Explain the changes. Employees with autism often do much better with predictable
schedules, so give them a little advance notice when something changes the
timetable.


Traits that Help Organizations Shine
Some employers have stepped up to the plate and developed programs to actively
recruit employees on the autism spectrum. Because they often see the world in a
different way, autistic employees can bring these traits and skills to the
workplace:



reliability



honesty and fairness



focus and concentration



memory for facts



attention to detail



innovation


Watch: JPMorgan Chase & Co. launched a recruiting program called “Autism at
Work” in 2015. Take a moment to watch this video with some of their employees as
they share stories about work and life.


If you want to take a deeper dive into the disability rights movement, check out
this book by James I. Charlton called Nothing About Us Without Us: Disability
Oppression and Empowerment.

Take Note: According to Harvard Business School’s Gary P. Pisano, businesses “do
better when we mix people who think differently or are wired a bit differently.”
He advocates that businesses invest in things like soft skills training, such as
social interaction and professional norms, to boost their success rates inside
businesses.
