The lives of autistic individuals are filled with challenges at various stages of their development. Especially after they leave school and enter the workplace, even more challenges await them. In December 2021, the Census and Statistics Department released a territory-wide survey on persons with disabilities and chronic diseases. The survey revealed that, in Hong Kong, there are 22,400 people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), of which 10,500 are aged over 15 and only 2,500 are employed. Local support services for autistic people have focused on in-school training. It wasn’t until 2018, that the government set up support centres for teenagers with high functioning autism. Currently, there is a half-year waiting period for services at the center, reflecting the high demand for these services. How can we improve the employment prospects of people with autism? What can be done to help autism persons to integrating into the workforce?
