Action Needed: Protect Disability Employment Support

• The Department of Labor is proposing a rule change that could negatively impact employment support for people with disabilities.

• This rule change affects the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), specifically WIOA Title I, which provides job programs.

• The proposed change would eliminate a 2016 rule requiring programs to reach out to individuals facing employment barriers, including those with disabilities.

• The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) urges people to submit public comments before July 31st to oppose the rule change and protect disability employment services.

"Interview Tip"

How Did I Do in the Interview?

This is a legit question to ask, but the wording needs to be changed. You definitely have a right to know if you performed well and, if not, how you could improve for the next opportunity.

Here’s a confident and professional way to ask:

"Thank you again for your time today. Based on our conversation, do you feel I’d be a strong fit for the role and your team?"

Or try:

"I really enjoyed our discussion—do you have any feedback or concerns about my fit for the position that I could address?"

These questions:

Show you're open to feedback

Express genuine interest

Help you gauge their support—without being too direct

Remember, it’s about curiosity and growth, not pressure.

The Impact of Working From Home on Disability Employment

• The rise of working from home (WFH) post-pandemic has significantly boosted employment for individuals with disabilities.

• In the US, WFH has increased full-time disability employment by over a quarter of a million people, with potential for much larger gains.

• Before the pandemic, disability employment rates were remarkably low, but WFH has created new opportunities by eliminating commuting and offering better working conditions.

• Research suggests that approximately 75% of the increase in full-time employment among people with physical disabilities post-COVID can be explained by the increase in WFH.

• The shift towards WFH benefits both disabled individuals by creating more work opportunities and society by driving economic growth.

Researchers Identify Four Distinct Types of Autism

• A new study in Nature Genetics has identified four distinct types of autism, each linked to unique genetic profiles.

• Researchers analyzed data from over 5,000 children in the SPARK autism cohort study, identifying subtypes based on traits like social interactions and repetitive behaviors.

• The subtypes include 'social and behavioral challenges,' 'mixed ASD with developmental delay,' 'moderate challenges,' and 'broadly affected.'

• The study found that these subtypes are linked to distinct genetic mutations, offering new insights into the neurodevelopmental condition.
