Youth with autism face barriers to employment and education after high school

Compared with youth with other disabilities, young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face a disproportionately difficult time navigating work and educational opportunities after high school. Paul Shattuck, PhD, assistant professor at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis, discusses the study that was chosen one of 2012's Top Ten Research Advances in Autism by the advocacy group Autism Speaks.

Part of the reason as to why that is, is because High school education is more testing if you have autism rather than anytihng else. Like haivng autism in high school will affect your grades negatively more than anything else. It does not matter if you are smart nor how hard you work if you have autism, you are still getting the lower grade

Simple answer to complicated answer
Low income students, go to low income schools, and low income schools aren't the greatest in ther services in help with the disabled, thus being said, Increase not the amount but the quality of the services. Did you know that there is in the state of georgie, specifically in the town of waycross, only one o.t. person to an entire system of school students?

Friendly advice. Unless you have a good education, come from a rich background. Don't let people if you have a ASD diagnosis. If you appear normal, appear normal. The people telling you to be you have a good education. You telling you have autism is natural selection in the job market.

well...why would you have connections when you barely have any personality or communication skills? This is like saying "why do I earn less when I am less capable"
