There are many organisations across the UK that provide either generic or autism-specific employment support. Below are two of the leading autism-specific services. For a more comprehensive list of the services The National Autistic Society are currently aware of, visit www.autismdirectory.org.uk

  • Autism West Midlands – ASpire
    ASpire is an employment service specifically for people with Asperger syndrome which aims to break down barriers for individuals in accessing work and sustaining a job. Support programmes are tailored to individual need and are based on good practice approaches to ASD. Find out more.
  • The National Autistic Society – Prospects
    Prospects is an employment and training service for people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who wish to work. Our aim is that people with an ASD should have the same training and employment opportunities as non-disabled people. We also work with employers to help with the recruitment, training and retention of staff with an ASD. Find out more.


If you manage an employment service offering support to adults with autism and would like to highlight it, please tell us what you're doing here.
