The Importance of Getting Career Alignment Right!

A precisely calibrated career path is important for all individuals. It is paramount for those with autism, whose specific interests and strengths demand exactness. Misalignment risks costly setbacks and even failure in future career endeavors.

  • Unemployment rate for people with high-functioning autism is over 80%
  • 34% of autistic college students complete their degree within six years, compared to 60% of their neurotypical peers
  • Changing majors in college can cost $18,000
  • It can take as long as 20 years for reemployed workers to catch up on lost earnings
Creating an identity of self worth and self efficacy is priceless. More significant than any monetary cost is the cost of missed opportunity.
