💬 "My nephew is autistic and you don't act like him."

💬 "But you seem like you cope well"

💬 "Everyone's a little autistic these days."

Many people still imagine autism as a single presentation. They picture one specific type of autistic person and assume everyone else should look, communicate and behave the same way. The reality is that autism is a spectrum, meaning autistic people can have very different strengths, challenges and support needs.

Some autistic people require significant daily support, while others live independently, complete degrees, build careers and even run businesses. Some autistic people are highly verbal, while others are non-speaking. Neither experience is more or less autistic than the other.

These differences don't disappear in the workplace.
One autistic employee may thrive with clear written instructions and predictable routines. Another may need flexibility around sensory challenges such as noise, lighting or busy office environments. Others may excel at creativity, problem-solving, pattern recognition or deep focus, while struggling with unwritten workplace rules and office politics.

The point is simple: there is no such thing as "looking autistic".

Every autistic person is different, and understanding those differences is often the key to creating workplaces where people can succeed.

And yes, I deliberately chose a picture of a dolphin and a cow jumping out of the ocean because it made me laugh. 🐬🐄

At Able To Work, we're building a future where disabled and neurodivergent people are recognised for their skills, strengths and potential rather than judged against stereotypes.
