Neurodiversity-friendly employers & support organisations

These employers actively recruit autistic talent and have structured support in place. Many use alternative selection processes (work trials, practical tasks) instead of or alongside traditional interviews.

Entry requirements: Most apprenticeships require grade 4+ (old C) in Maths & English GCSE. Degree apprenticeships sometimes ask for grade 5+ (old B) in Maths. Michael's grades — 8 in Maths (A*), 7 in English Language (A) and 7 in English Literature (A) — exceed every published requirement including degree-level programmes.

Generated draft

Best practices:

Keep it to 400–500 words for most apprenticeship applications
Open with a specific hook — not "I have always been interested in…"
Name the programme and employer explicitly — shows research
One concrete example beats three vague claims
Mention reasonable adjustments / support needs in a separate email to HR, not in the statement
Ask someone who knows you to read it — the NAS employment team offer reviews for autistic applicants
