Is this you?
Who do we work with?
IWORK4ME takes self-referrals from autistic adults in Scotland.
Potential clients must:
- Have a formal autism diagnosis – a confirmed diagnosis is required to access our service.
- Be based in Scotland.
- Have a business idea or be already self-employed – you can be at the early idea stage or already running a small business.
- Be willing to be supported by the IWORK4ME team.
How do referrals work?
- You email us to confirm you are autistic and live in Scotland.
- We assess your referral to ensure it meets with our criteria.
- We offer two initial online meetings via Zoom to discuss your business idea and how we may be able to support you.
- We’ll look at whether we’re the right service to support you going forward.
How do we work with you?
- We meet regularly on Zoom – usually every 3-4 months.
- You’ll see the same people each time – consistency is important to us.
- We help you prioritise what comes next.
- We give you small, achievable action points after each meeting.
- We support you to explore self-employment in a way that feels realistic, supportive and manageable.
- Our support is ongoing – there’s no fixed end point.
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.”
IWORK4ME’s coaching service is delivered on Tuesdays by Zoom
