Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-11 (November 2020) . - p.4209-4217 Titre : Autism and Employment: Implications for Employers and Adults with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Calvin SOLOMON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4209-4217 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  Competitive employment  Employer outcomes  Employment  Rehabilitation  Vocational habilitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A small but growing body of research has been conducted on vocational outcomes for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, limited resources have been directed towards understanding outcomes for competitive employers. While ASD does present with a range of social communication and adaptive behavior deficits, adults on the spectrum may be extremely efficient, trustworthy, reliable, and cost-effective employees. Nevertheless, fewer than half of young adults with ASD maintain a job. Many businesses are unwilling to hire these capable candidates, concerned among other things about an increase in supervision costs and a decrease in productivity. This is a bias based on misperceptions; the financial and social benefits of hiring adults with ASD, for businesses and the individual, often outweigh the costs.
