Other Sources of Information

Much of the information included in this directory has been obtained from the National Autistic Society website http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/employment/looking-for-work.aspx . Of particular relevance is an employment pack comprising the undiscovered workforce (job-seeker information) and the undiscovered workforce (employer information).
