AUTISM research has been used to set up the first free employment profiling service to help more people on the autistic spectrum find work.

• The services have been designed by a team of experts in autism and employment at the University of Portsmouth Autism Centre for Research on Employment (ACRE), led by Dr Beatriz López, and aim to help employers make reasonable adjustments in the workplace so that employees on the autism spectrum can thrive in employment.

‘Our goal is to enhance the job opportunities of people on the autism spectrum without, or with mild learning disabilities.’
