A Conflict of Interests: A Motivational Perspective on Special Interests and Employment Success of Adults with ASD / Y. GOLDFARB in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-9 (September 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-9 (September 2019) . - p.3915-3923 Titre : A Conflict of Interests: A Motivational Perspective on Special Interests and Employment Success of Adults with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Y. GOLDFARB, Auteur ; E. GAL, Auteur ; O. GOLAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3915-3923 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adulthood  Autism spectrum disorder  Employment  Motivation  Self determination theory  Special interests Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A course of action often suggested in an attempt to improve employment outcomes of adults with autism spectrum disorder, is to match between special interests and job opportunities. In this commentary, we propose that the match may be more complicated than it seems, possibly overseeing more pressing employment needs that should be answered such as: the job's characteristics, labor market demands, and stress resulting from job expectations. Self determination theory of motivation is suggested as a lens through which the association between special interests and a paying job can be examined, highlighting important considerations that hold the potential to increase employment success. Recommendations for new research directions and vocational rehabilitation practice are discussed.

Implications of Employment Changes Caused by COVID-19 on Mental Health and Work-Related Psychological Need Satisfaction of Autistic Employees: A Mixed-Methods Longitudinal Study / Y. GOLDFARB in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-1 (January 2022)

In the quantitative phase, 23 participants answered a survey before and during COVID-19, assessing work-status, mental health, and work-related psychological need satisfaction. The qualitative phase included interviews with ten employed participants. Results indicate a significant decrease in mental health of participants who lost their jobs during COVID-19, while participants who continued to physically attend work, maintained pre-COVID-19 levels on all assessed variables. Participants who transitioned to remote-work from home, showed a marginally significant deterioration in mental health and a significant decrease in satisfaction of work-related psychological needs for competence and autonomy. Qualitative accounts supplement these findings and portray advantages and disadvantages of remote-work.

Visual Detection and Decoding Skills of Aerial Photography by Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) / H. MARCIANO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-3 (March 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-3 (March 2022) . - p.1346-1360 Titre : Visual Detection and Decoding Skills of Aerial Photography by Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : H. MARCIANO, Auteur ; E. GAL, Auteur ; R. KIMCHI, Auteur ; D. HEDLEY, Auteur ; Y. GOLDFARB, Auteur ; Yoram S. BONNEH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1346-1360 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis  Cognition  Humans  Photography  Social Skills  Visual Perception  Young Adult  Autism spectrum disorders  Cognition (attention, learning, memory)  Visual decoding  Visual search  Vocational/labor force participation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite challenges in social communication skills people with ASD often display strengths in visual processing. Aerial photography analysis is an occupation reliant on strong visual processing skills that matches this unique profile. We investigated basic-vision and "real-life" visual tasks in 20 cognitively-able young adults with ASD and 20 typically-developed (TD) "gamers". Basic-vision tests included Visual-Search, Embedded-Figures, and Vigilance; "real-life" tests included aerial-photograph detection and identification. Groups performed equally well, and did not differ significantly on any tasks. The study demonstrates strong visual skills in people with ASD in basic and "real-life" settings, and supports the idea that they may be well suited for employment in occupations that demand high visual perception skills such as aerial photography analysis.
