Autism & Reasonable Adjustments in the Workplace Dr Catriona Stewart & Prof Fiona Kumari Campbell

This Disability History Month event featured Dr Catriona Stewart OBE, Scottish Women's Autism Network (SWAN) and Professor Fiona Kumari Campbell, University of Dundee. This event raised many questions and answers, such as: The Equalities Act stipulates the requirement for employers to make 'reasonable adjustments' for employees with protected characteristics. What if, for autistic people, no-one knows what those adjustments might be, including the autistic employee? What about the barriers to gaining employment in the first place for autistic people? And what if, even when they scale those barriers, issues of communication in the workplace are so profound, they marginalise and discriminate in ways that are 'invisible' to all except the autistic employee? What is the cost and who pays it?
