Cost-benefit analysis of a non-government organization and Australian government collaborative supported employment program for autistic people / Darren HEDLEY in Autism, 27-5 (July 2023)
[article]
Titre : Cost-benefit analysis of a non-government organization and Australian government collaborative supported employment program for autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; David FE HEDLEY, Auteur ; Emmanuelle WALKOWIAK, Auteur ; Simon M. BURY, Auteur ; Jennifer R. SPOOR, Auteur ; Alan SHIELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1377-1390 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults;autism;cost-benefit analysis;economic costs;employment;government;savings;vocational/labor force participation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We present a cost-benefit analysis of an Australian Government sponsored 3-year supported employment program for autistic adults-the DXC Dandelion Program-in the information and communications technology sector. We explored the range of direct costs associated with running the program, benefits to participants, and avoided costs to the government. Estimates were based on data from 56 (86% men; Mage?=?25.28, standard deviation [SD]?=?8.36?years) autistic participants in the program. The program generated a high benefit ratio for government, mainly driven by increases in wage rates and hours worked and avoiding welfare and unemployment benefit payments. Participants received the largest benefit through wages and access to the labor market, with most participants transitioning into productive, open employment following program completion. The results from the model are robust; the benefit ratio remained above 1.0 even when higher discount rates were applied. In sum, our analysis identifies potential economic savings associated with supported employment programs that provide pathways for otherwise unemployed or under-employed autistic adults to enter the workforce. Lay abstract Relative to the size of the population, there are fewer autistic people than non-autistic people in the workforce. Employment programs that provide extra support to autistic people may help them to gain and keep jobs that are suited to their skills and expertise. In this study, we reviewed the DXC Dandelion Program. This is a supported autism employment program run in partnership with the Australian Government. The program provided jobs to autistic people who worked in information and communications technology roles, such as software testing and cyber security. In this study, we examined some of the benefits of the program for the autistic people who participated in it. We also examined the benefits of the program to the government. We found that there are many savings to government when autistic people are employed in jobs that are matched to their skills and abilities, compared to being unemployed or working in jobs that are below their level of education, training, or skills.

To establish the internal consistency and discriminant validity of the AEQ, parents of children with ASD (n = 105, M(age) = 40.85, SD = 15.67 months) or typical development (TD; n = 98, M(age) = 50.33, SD = 16.50 months) completed the AEQ. Questionnaire construction, content validity, factor analysis, internal consistency and discriminant validity are reported. The AEQ was reliable with high internal consistency in most domains. Significant differences were found between groups in all domains. The AEQ is a reliable and valid tool and may help to characterize eating difficulties in this population.

BURY, Auteur ; D. HEDLEY, Auteur ; M. ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; E. GAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1607-1608 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism advantage autism spectrum disorder individual differences talent workplace performance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this letter to the editor, we comment on the 'autism advantage' - the idea that superior skills associated with autism (e.g. attention to detail) present a talent in employment - an example of which is a recent discussion by Austin and Pisano. We welcome advocacy that raises awareness around the strengths and capabilities of people with autism, and also the need to reform human resource management processes that disadvantage them. However, we are concerned that, by highlighting certain stereotypes (e.g. the 'talented nerd lacking social graces'), the heterogeneity of autism may be overlooked and support needs downplayed. Furthermore, not appreciating individual differences might result in a misalignment between work-profile and employment, pressure to outperform peers without autism and a failure to appreciate the diverse interests of people with autism. We argue that an individual differences approach will prove more sustainable for improving long-term employment outcomes.

Titre : Non-autistic employees' perspectives on the implementation of an autism employment programme Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J. R. SPOOR, Auteur ; Simon M. BURY, Auteur ; D. HEDLEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2177-2188 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Achievement Autism Spectrum Disorder Autistic Disorder Employment Humans Workplace autism employment autistic adults disability diversity intergroup relations Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We asked 32 employees who work alongside autistic trainees for their thoughts about the autism employment programme that is running in their company. Specifically, we analysed their responses to understand how the employees perceived the autism employment programme's implementation and outcomes. How employees within an organisation view diversity, and the nature of specific programmes to increase the inclusion of certain groups of individuals (e.g. autistic employees) in their organisation, can impact the success of these programmes. Research in other organisations has suggested that diversity perspectives that fully support the inclusion of people with diverse backgrounds in the organisation lead to better outcomes. Thematic analysis of the responses in this study revealed that the views of the employees fit three main themes: programme benefits, programme challenges and concerns about workforce integration. The programme benefits theme suggested that the autism employment programme was viewed positively. However, negative attitudes and perceptions of special treatment contributed to programme challenges, which were similar to challenges that have been observed with other disability and diversity programmes. The design of this specific programme led to concerns about workforce integration, such as reduced opportunity for social and work integration into the broader workplace. This research extends the research on diversity management in the context of autism employment, and it provides practical understanding into ways in which organisational-based autism employment programmes are more and less successful.

Titre : Predictors of mental health and well-being in employed adults with autism spectrum disorder at 12-month follow-up Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : D.

BURY, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.482-494 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety autism spectrum disorder depression employment mental health well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) commonly experience poor outcomes in adulthood. Previous research on adult outcomes has focused on negative aspects of health and well-being, while positive well-being remains understudied. The current study charted 12-month change in daily living skills, job satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and positive well-being in 36 (32 male) newly employed adults with ASD aged 18 to 57 years who were participating in a supported employment program. There was a small increase in daily living skills, and a slight decrease in job satisfaction, with all other measures remaining stable over time. Regression analyses revealed that, controlling for baseline depression, positive well-being negatively predicted depression at follow-up. No significant predictors of anxiety were identified. Social support and depression at baseline were associated with positive well-being at follow-up; however, they were no longer significant predictors after the effects of baseline positive well-being were taken into account. The findings provide evidence that positive well-being may buffer against depression in people with ASD. Our finding of stability of mental health and well-being measures over time indicates more research is required to uncover the mechanisms underpinning mental health and well-being outcomes in employed adults with ASD.
