Their success will depend on whether real companies post real work positions, and whether they hire and successfully retain autistic people in their employment. I don't think it's possible to judge it until I see some initial numbers. For example they started a Native Canadians job bureau here but it hasn't significantly altered the employment opportunities of Native Canadians, despite its good intentions.
Real companies regularly post "fake" jobs on most career sites, which are essentially unpaid internships that replace actual paid full time posts in the company.
Some do make them paid internships, but in the end you are still doing the work of a formally real position and not being on payroll with benefits.
This is illegal under U.S. law and regulation.
Those if you do sue regardless if you win, you will be blacklisted by most employers and probably spend your life as unemployed or underemployed (it has happened to all those who have sued).
Does anyone use careerbuilder.com and/or monster.com?
Linkedin, Indeed.com and others pull postings from all the jobs sites and post them on their sites.
I might check this out, since I still haven't landed employment since graduation in July.
