Education and Employment Funnel

Each year over 67,000 Autistic children in the United States turn 18. Of those individuals, 60% or approximately 40,000 are diagnosed with no or only a mild level of intellectual disability and therefore are capable of higher education and employment. However, only about 23,000 enter a two or four-year college and most of them do not disclose their disability to the college. Of those who do disclose, about 2,600 individuals graduate with an Associate or Bachelor’s degree. At this time, it is not known how many graduate without disclosing. Nor do we know how many secure paid employment. What we do know though, is that only 29% of autistic adults have any form of paid employment and of the 29% only 14% have paid employment in a community integrated setting.
