Societal barriers to employment for dyslexic and neuro diverse communities

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing away out there,

 Research by the Westminster Achievability Commission 2017 WAC, 

“Many neuro divergent people, this includes dyslexics, are ready and willing to work but find themselves faced with insurmountable barriers, WAC 2017.

A few of the key findings from the report:

·       There is a lack of awareness of what we can do

·       Disclosure can often lead to bullying and discrimination in the         work place

·       Government measures including Access to Work are inadequate

·       The Equalities Act is being implemented inadequately

Here are a couple questions for you:

1  What barriers to work have you experienced? 

2  What support have you had access to?
