Petition Debate Autism and Employment

As somebody on the Autism Spectrum I currently claim Jobseeker's Allowance and I feel that I have not been given any support to look for a job and they don't understand Autism or how to help people like me to get into employment.

More details

There needs to be people trained in Autism within the DWP as the advisors I have seen do not seem to understand people like me at all, this leads to me feeling very emotional and stressed out, and I dread attending the jobcentre as I really dislike being there, you literally get 5 minutes to be seen then your out the door.
