What IWORK4ME does

We support autistic people in Scotland to:

  • explore business ideas safely
  • build confidence and skills
  • manage pace and planning
  • grow sustainable self employment over time.

Our service is:

  • Free
  • Autism-informed
  • Open ended
  • Delivered online, anywhere in Scotland

Who our service is for

Many autistic people find traditional employment exhausting, confusing or unsustainable, not because of ability, but because workplaces are rarely designed with autism in mind.

Self-employment can offer:

  • flexibility
  • autonomy
  • control over workload and environment

With the right support, it can be life changing.

Why self-employment can work for autistic people

“I’ve been fired or had every temporary assignment cancelled my entire life. The only time I ever found any measure of success was self-employment”

“I haven't been fired because I'm great at sensing it's coming and would always quit first, which is dumb. But I have had a LOT of jobs. Consider self-employment! I've been a rockstar at that, maybe you will be too.”
