The goal of this Autism Speaks Employment Think Tank was to convene a two-day intensive and focused discussion on the role of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the workforce and on the needs of the current competitive labor market at large. Our hope was that by shining a spotlight on the unique abilities, strengths and untapped resources of people with autism to potential employers, we could inspire business leaders and our stakeholders to make this issue a personal priority as well as a national focus.
