The 'Autism Advantage' in the Workplace

Adam Feinstein will examine the strengths of many people on the autism spectrum which make them an untapped human resource in the workplace. Using case studies, he will analyse potential employment openings across the autism spectrum and demonstrate why employing autistic people makes sound economic sense. He will examine misleading stereotypes and assess the alternative option of self-employment.A lecture by Adam Feinstein, Author and Autism Researcher, 22 October 2018The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/autism-advantage-workplaceGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
