About this event

#AUTISM DISCRIMINATION is a webinar by Exceptional Individuals that discusses how REAL Employment Tribunals on autism discrimination in the workplace have gone.

What problems can arise at work for autistic employees?

Given the nature of the condition, it is easy to see that an autistic employee may encounter problems in the workplace, particularly if their managers either don’t know they have ASD or don’t understand the nature of the condition.

For example, an autistic employee may misunderstand a tasks, hence missing deadlines, as well as make mistakes with their work which could cause problems for co-workers or damage the reputation of the business.

What would count as discrimination?

But how would they play out in court?
