Yes, Autistic people can work - although those who are severely effected may not be able to work, and those who are less severely effected may be restricted in what work they can do. Currently 95% of Autistic people in the UK are not in full-tome employment or education, this is less a reflection on Autistic people's abilities and more on discrimination.
Autistic people often find it hard to hold down jobs because workplaces often discriminate against them and it's difficult to continue to act neurotypical when you're not so Autistic people often experience burnout. Job interviews are also heavily biased against Autistic people, they focus on neurotypical behaviour such as eye contact and body language, interviews also often include role play and knowing when to hold back honesty, all of which are a struggle for Autistic people.

No, the UK is not against autism and I'm not sure how countries could be against a disorder.The UK is one of the most tolerant places for Autism, for example we have one of the only Autism-specific laws (Autism Act) which requires people in government and healthcare to learn about Autism and a pathway to diagnosis.
