Abstract
Autistic people experience the lowest labour force participation rates when compared to any other group.
The purpose of this global survey study was to investigate the challenges, learnings and best practices organisations have in sustaining and scaling skilled autism employment.
This study represents the first large scale, global quantitative study in the area and thus an important contribution to the available research evidence in that it provides the opportunity to develop evidence-based conclusions that go beyond single cases and compare different employer types and locations.
Project findings will benefit autistic adults who seek employment by identifying and developing recommendations for effective, sustainable, and scalable autism employment practices/models that are both applicable to a wide range of organisations, and improve the opportunities and workplace outcomes of autistic adults when applying and participating in such programs.
