Review employment support including ESA available to autistic individuals

Petition Details

In the UK only 32% of autistic individuals are in some kind of paid work. That statistic shockingly shows that the vast majority of autistic individuals are unemployed, with many more only in low-paid part-time work.

Additional Information

I’m calling on the Government to review the financial support that is available to autistic individuals, including Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), so that they can achieve paid employment.
