“The crisis has created new obstacles and challenges.  But efforts to reignite the global economy offer an opportunity to reimagine the workplace to make diversity, inclusion and equity a reality.
Recovery is also a chance to rethink our systems of education and training to ensure that persons with autism are afforded opportunities for realizing their potential. 
Breaking old habits will be crucial. For persons with autism, access to decent work on an equal basis requires creating an enabling environment, along with reasonable accommodation.”(the whole message you can read here: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/statement/2021-04-02/secretary-generals-message-world-autism-awareness-day-scroll-down-for-french-version
