Moss H, Bussanich P. 2021. 2021 Autism Acceptance Month Coffee Talk Presentation Recording: Transition and Employment [Other title: Transition and Employment: Neurodiversity at Work]. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, SPHARC, 40 m 22 s. (SPHARC Coffee Talk)

Annotation: In April 2021, Haley Moss, Esq., gave a Coffee Talk focusing on autism employment and transition. The presentation covers key topics including autism statistics (1 in 54 children, 2.2% of adult population), the business benefits of neurodiversity (citing SAP's $40 million cost-saving solution and 28% higher revenues for inclusive companies), employment challenges (including hiring biases and communication barriers), disclosure strategies (timing options and resources), interview preparation (accommodations and challenges), and self-advocacy in the workplace. The content emphasizes creating inclusive workplace cultures, practical accommodation strategies (noting most cost less than $500), and the importance of neurodiversity in leadership positions, with a strong focus on strengths-based approaches and the need for systemic change from top-down to create truly inclusive work environments.
