About this listen

Only 3 in 10 autistic people are said to be in work, but that statistic hides a much bigger story.

In this episode, Nic and Kate talk about how “voluntary experience” can sometimes slide into unpaid labour, why big corporations need to stop treating autistic workers like charity projects, and how employment systems often reward masking over merit.

Expect honesty, humour, and a few choice words for capitalism along the way.
