According to the National Autistic Society more than one in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK. Much progress has been made in recent years to raise awareness of neurodiversity but if we look at the latest UK government figures, there is still lots more work to be done in terms of embracing autism in the workplace:
How do we turn these figures around? At YourGP, we believe it all starts with employers taking the lead and making reasonable adjustments in the workplace to ensure it is more autism-friendly. And the Occupational Health experts at YourGP are here to show you how…
According to Scottish Autism, autism can be defined as “a lifelong, developmental condition that affects the way a person communicates, interacts and processes information”.
Some autistic people may have subtle differences in their thinking and processing style whilst others will have more complex needs and require more support. Therefore, every autistic person should be viewed as an individual with their own unique skills and talent.
For too long, many neurodiverse employees have been held back from reaching their full potential in the workplace. But by making simple adjustments, we can create happier and more productive working environments for autistic people to thrive in. This will benefit not just autistic workers, but also those who do not have a formal diagnosis, those who may not be aware of their autism, or those who lack the confidence to speak up and ask for the help they need.
For more tailored advice on how to make your business more autism-friendly, speak to the Occupational Health professionals at YourGP. Simply email occhealth@your.gp and we’ll be happy to arrange an appointment at a time that works for you.
