​More about Chris Doherty

Picture
Chris has a young boy with Autism and is passionate about improving the lives of people in the autism community. He runs several social media support groups; most notably one for dads of kids with autism (with over 1000 dads) and another one focused on employment issues. He is a Carers representative for Carers NSW with whom he speaks to universities about their Carer strategies, has been on the disability and inclusion panel for Cumberland Council and is currently on his employers Disability and Carers committee.
​

Chris works as a software developer and has degrees in Engineering, Business and Psychology. His special interest is unemployment because people with autism experience, possibly, the worst employment outcomes in the entire disability community. A self confessed ‘Jack of all trades master of none’ Chris likes to think his eclectic range of skills will help in developing new ways to improve these outcomes. He is currently writing a thesis exploring this topic, if you have a couple of hours to spare, ask him about it.
