What It’s Really Like: ‘Here To Stay’ Sheds New Light On Autism In The Workplace

June 12, 2025 Communication, Opinion Piece, Video Production

Three autistic adults.

Multiple workplace experiences; some good, and some the cause of deep trauma.

This shouldn’t be the norm, but somehow, it seems to be.

We sat down with Gary, Chelsea and Dale, and heard their stories. No sensationalism, just the raw, unfiltered truth.

For many companies, diversity and inclusion is still a tick box exercise, despite the fact that accommodating autistic employees doesn’t have to be difficult or costly.

True inclusion starts with knowledge. This documentary is your tool to drive awareness, challenge assumptions, and shape a more inclusive workplace culture.

Hearing authentic stories from real individuals has the power to shift perceptions and spark meaningful conversations in a way that facts and statistics alone simply can’t.
