The Current Labels are for Cans: Managing autism in the workplace
The Current Labels are for Cans: Managing autism in the workplace
People with high-functioning autism are said to have an "invisible disability." But it's not always completely invisible. There can be problems communicating, troublesome ticks, or socially inappropriate behaviour. Sometimes, it's enough to result in dismissal. Advocates say workplaces should be more accommodating. But as CBC reporter Julie Ireton discovered, there is a bigger debate taking place about whether workers with autism should stay quiet and hope no one notices, or reveal all and hope an employer will be sympathetic.
