How to Hire (and keep) Autistic Employees - It’s free
We’re not here to tell you to start interviewing and hiring autistic adults—you already did.
It’s very likely you already interviewed and hired autistic folks.
Autism prevalence in the US is 2.2% (that’s over 5,500,000 autistic adults, or 1 autistic person of 44 people).
According to StackOverflow, that number almost doubles among tech employees.
Autism prevalence has also increased by 243% since 2000, so this pool of employees is only growing.
But autistic folks have long been in the shadows of workplace diversity and inclusion—this course is going to make it easy for your company to change.

Here’re a few examples of the actionable lessons you’ll learn:

This course was built with those voices to tell you, directly from autistic people, what they need and why they need it.
