Inside EU has carried out a study into the challenges faced by autistic individuals in Ireland regarding independent living, focusing on key areas like employment, education, and social integration.

 

Autism prevalence rates vary, with 1 in 65 individuals diagnosed in Ireland, and a higher prevalence reported in Northern Ireland. Employment remains a critical issue, with around 80% of autistic individuals unemployed, and most are underemployed.

 

The study's methodology involves focus groups and consultations with autistic adults and professionals, identifying barriers such as social isolation, sensory overload, daily living skills, financial literacy, and accessing public services.
