Employment profiles of autistic adults in Australia / M. HARVERY in Autism Research, 14-10 (October 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-10 (October 2021) . - p.2061-2077 Titre : Employment profiles of autistic adults in Australia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. HARVERY, Auteur ; E. H. FROUDE, Auteur ; K. R. FOLEY, Auteur ; J. N. TROLLOR, Auteur ; Samuel R. C. ARNOLD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2061-2077 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Australia  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Autistic Disorder/epidemiology  Employment  Humans  Longitudinal Studies  adults  employment  work  workplace adjustments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic adults experience a high number of job changes, reduced working hours, minimal workplace supports, and overrepresentation in entry-level and low paid positions. This study adds to the existing evidence base to guide clinical decisions and interventions for this population. This study utilized baseline data collected between 2015 and 2017 from the Autism CRC's Australian Longitudinal Study of Autism in Adulthood. The aim was to describe the employment profiles and explore factors related to employment for Australian autistic adults aged 25 and older (N = 149). Comparisons between participants and the Australian workforce were made using Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data. Two logistic regression models were conducted to explore the association between underemployment and underutilisation with personal and environmental factors. In comparison to the Australian workforce, autistic adults were more likely to work part-time, work reduced hours and be employed at skill levels lower than their qualifications warranted. Logistic regressions reported that more autistic traits, more social supports and having workplace adjustments implemented were significantly associated with a higher odds of autistic adults being appropriately employed and/or utilized in the workforce. Results suggest that interventions implementing appropriate workplace adjustments, a supportive workplace environment, and adequate social supports may improve employment outcomes for autistic adults. All employees may benefit from workplace resources targeted toward fostering an inclusive workplace environment. LAY SUMMARY: This study aimed to describe the employment profiles and explore factors related to employment for Australian autistic adults. We compared this with the Australian workforce using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Autistic adults with more autistic traits and more social and workplace supports were more likely to be employed and have jobs that were better suited to them. Autistic adults might have better employment outcomes if they have the appropriate workplace adjustments, a supportive workplace and adequate social supports.

Effects of an employer-based intervention on employment outcomes for youth with significant support needs due to autism / Paul WEHMAN in Autism, 21-3 (April 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-3 (April 2017) . - p.276-290 Titre : Effects of an employer-based intervention on employment outcomes for youth with significant support needs due to autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul WEHMAN, Auteur ; Carol M.

The intervention modified a program titled Project SEARCH and incorporated the use of applied behavior analysis to develop Project SEARCH plus Autism Spectrum Disorder Supports. A randomized clinical trial compared the implementation of Project SEARCH plus Autism Spectrum Disorder Supports with high school special education services as usual. Participants were 49 high-school-aged individuals between the ages of 18 and 21?years diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and eligible for supported employment. Students also had to demonstrate independent self-care. At 3?months post-graduation, 90% of the treatment group acquired competitive, part-time employment earning US$9.53-US$10.66?per hour. Furthermore, 87% of those individuals maintained employment at 12?months post-graduation. The control group's employment outcomes were 6% acquiring employment by 3?months post-graduation and 12% acquiring employment by 12?months post-graduation. The positive employment outcomes generated by the treatment group provide evidence that youth with autism spectrum disorder can gain and maintain competitive employment. Additionally, there is evidence that they are able to advance within that time toward more weekly hours worked, while they also displayed increasing independence in the work setting.

Employment Activities and Experiences of Adults with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Disorder / Susanna BALDWIN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-10 (October 2014)

Drawing on data from a national survey, this report describes the employment activities and experiences of 130 adults with Asperger’s Disorder (AD) and high functioning autism (HFA) in Australia. Outcome measures include current occupation; occupational skill level and alignment with educational attainment; type of job contract; hours of work; support received to find work; support received in the workplace; and positive and negative experiences of employment. The findings confirm and expand upon existing evidence that adults with AD and HFA, despite their capacity and willingness to work, face significant disadvantages in the labour market and a lack of understanding and support in employment settings.

Employment and Post-Secondary Educational Activities for Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders During the Transition to Adulthood / Julie LOUNDS TAYLOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-5 (May 2011)

Analyses indicated low rates of employment in the community, with the majority of young adults (56%) spending time in sheltered workshops or day activity centers. Young adults with ASD without an intellectual disability were three times more likely to have no daytime activities compared to adults with ASD who had an intellectual disability. Differences in behavioral functioning were observed by employment/day activity group. Our findings suggest that the current service system may be inadequate to accommodate the needs of youths with ASD who do not have intellectual disabilities during the transition to adulthood.

Analyzing the 2008–09 National Core Indicators Adult Consumer Survey, this study investigates community employment of working age (18–65) individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who receive services in the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) service systems in 19 states. The findings show that 18.2% of adult service users of IDD services had a community job. People with ASD and people with ID had significantly lower odds of being employed in the community compared to those without ASD, after controlling for age, health, mobility, gender, level of ID, and challenging behavior. Results are presented in the context of current employment research and the implications of these findings are discussed.
