Employability Skills for Autistic Students and Graduates

SASSI wants to make you aware of a free online employment course for autistic university/college students that is hosted on Udemy! Users will be asked to make a Udemy account when visiting Employability Skills for Autistic Students and Graduates 要访问它.

It consists of a range of short narrated videos with downloadable resources to support learning and will take between 2-4 hours to complete. 主题包括:

  • 了解你自己和你的自闭症
  • 规划你的职业道路
  • 分享你的诊断
  • 合理调整
  • 面试过程

它是使用a开发的 参与模型 in collaboration with autistic experts Carl Cameron (Matthew’s Hub) and Helen Attwood (Living Autism); careers consultants Keren Coney (Liverpool John Moore University) and Edmund Lewis (LSE) from UK universities; and researchers including myself and Dr Brett Heasman.

While it is has a UK flavor to it, much of the advice and many of the resources transcend national boundaries and would be relevant to any autistic person seeking to develop their employment skills. Please do share it with students / graduates, networks via email, Twitter, Insta or LinkedIn.

Person - or Identity-First Language

At SASSI, we intentionally use both person-first (e.g., a student with autism) and identity-first (e.g., an autistic student) language to acknowledge the diverse perspectives and preferences related to one's relationship with autism. 

We recognize that there are diverse perspectives and preferences about the language used to address or refer to individuals with autism—person-first versus identity-first. 如果你愿意的话 explore these personal choices further, here are links you may be interested in: Autistic Self Advocacy Network Identity-First Language 国家老龄化和 Disability Transportation Center Person-first and Identity-first Language Choices.
