To get a job is a huge challenge for disabled people in the UK, but for those living with neurological disabilities, it is an even greater battle. While generally 47% of people with disabilities are employed in the country, just 16% of people with autism have full-time work, according to the National Autistic Society, while less than 6% of learning disabled people are employed full time. Trends are not showing progress, either: the employment rate for autism is almost unchanged in the last a decade, and the number of learning-disabled people in work has actually fallen in the last five years.
