ACRE was founded in 2014 with support from the Department of Health: Autism Innovation Fund. The centre is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Psychology at the University of Portsmouth and Southampton City Council, Portsmouth City Council, Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council.
Since then, ACRE has conducted research and developed evidence-based resources to improve employment opportunities for autistic people.
Less is more: We have selected and summarised, from the vast information available, the most relevant information to get you started.
Empowerment: We list questions you may want to ask yourself, or the person you support, to help taking control and making the most of the resources available.
Support: We give you useful tips and links to find out more about each topic.
We are delighted to present the recordings from a seminar series funded by the British Psychological Society
The series explored the autism's double empathy problem (Milton, 2012) and its implications for higher education and for the removal of barriers for autistic students at HE.
