Summary

Join us for Session Three: Autism “From the Horse’s Mouth”.

In this session, Tim Young covers the sensitivities and anxiety that those with autism experience, the way they mask these symptoms, and what happens when symptoms cannot be masked. As well as an overview of employment statistics, he discusses the benefits and challenges of hiring an autistic person, before offering practical advice on how companies can adapt their recruitment and advertising procedures to ensure that people with autism are welcomed into the hiring process. Tim, as someone on the autism spectrum, concludes with an inspiring story about his own life.
