I think it's less than this. Perhaps 25%-40%. But highly variable based on socioeconomic status. But the parent post is also wrong. Statistics vary, but employment among autistic people is as high as 58% in the US (which shouldnt be surprising, given that many autistic folks have no diminishment of iq). So, definitely huge unemployment rate, but not so dire are the gp suggests.

I think I know the study you mean. That misrepresents it. It says that in the USA (numbers are much worse internationally) : * 58% had EVER held a paid job since leaving high school. * About 42% had never worked for pay. * Nearly 80% of those who worked were working part-time. * Only about 21% had worked full-time in their current/most recent job. * 19% had ever lived away from home independently [0] https://drexel.edu/autisminstitute/news-events/news/2015/April/Autism-Indicators-Young-Adult-Transition/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://drexel.edu/autisminstitute/news-events/news/2015/Apr...
