"The neurodiverse population remains a largely untapped talent pool, even competent neurodiverse people are often underemployed.
Unemployment for neurodivergent adults runs at least as high as 30-40% which is three times the rate for people with disability, and eight times the rate for people without disabilities.
In the United States, it is estimated that 85% of people on the autism spectrum are unemployed, compared to 4.2% of the overall population.
Disabled working people were significantly less likely to be employed as managers, directors, or senior officials, or to be employed in professional occupations (27.2% compared to 34.5% for non-disabled people)."
