Adults with ASD who use State Developmental Disability (DD) Services had low rates of community and facility-based paid employment. From the National Core Indicators Adult Consumer Survey 2014-15, 14% of adults with ASD had a paid job in the community in the two weeks prior to participating in the survey; 15% had a paid job in a facility-based setting; and 27% of adults with ASD had either type of paid employment, significantly lower than the 35% of all other adult DD service users. While paid employment is an ideal outcome, finding and keeping a job is hard for many people with ASD.
