Great to see Commissioner @NicolasSchmitEU at @spfnd. It is essential to develop coaching programs and initiatives to foster access to the labour market for #autistic people.. They should be supported across various areas to reflect the diversity of skills and interests

Visited Specialisterne in Copenhagen today – a project that helps guide autistic people into the workforce. We have to seize the advantages of human diversity. Autistic people can do many tasks better than others. Better help and training gives easier access to the job market. 3
