A new Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) drive to get more disabled people into work is turning its attention to those with autism.
Around 114,000 people in the UK are on the disability benefit Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for autism, which is one of many hidden disabilities that means some people are eligible for the benefit.
People who claim PIP receive up to £691 a month, with a total of three million people on this benefit across the country, Birmingham Live reports.
