CALGARY Unemployment is high in the adult autistic community and the Society for Treatment of Autism is working to change that through its Adolescent and Adult Services Program, according to Arwen Caines, the clinical director. Those with autism are employed at 14 per cent where as general population is 92 per cent, said Caines. There s a huge discrepancy between autistic individuals and their ability to find employment in the general population. The Adolescent and Adult Services Program offers a wide range of life skills, vocational and skill-building training programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder aged 13 years and older. Being able to complete a job search is quite overwhelming for some, said Caines. To go on the internet, how do I know what to search for, how do I know if I m qualified for these jobs that are posted.
