Employment Tool Kit

This Tool Kit is designed for autistic job seekers, those who have employment aspirations and their support teams, who will assist them in the employment process. It provides tools and tips for planning and preparing for employment, including an overview of career options, resume and interview advice, disclosure and accommodation requests and the legal rights afforded those with disabilities.

The original version was released in 2013 with a comprehensive review and update in 2023 by a diverse team of Autism Speaks staff, Autism Speaks Community Advisory Council and outside contributors that included autistic adults, human resource professionals, job coaches, vocational rehabilitation staff, business leaders, academic experts and caregivers of autistic adults.
