Employment of Persons with Autism: A Scoping Review

This scoping review furnishes the reader with a contemporary overview of research about employment conditions related to persons on the autism spectrum. In this book six guiding questions are used to address various aspects of employment for persons on the autism spectrum, including job opportunities, removing barriers to employment, becoming successful at work, and management issues for employers working with people on the autism spectrum. The contents of this scoping review can appeal to many different readers. Persons on the autism spectrum can learn about proven strategies that they can use to maximise their success in the workplace. Employers, tertiary students, and lay people can learn methods that they can use to help employees on the autism spectrum obtain and maintain employment. Finally, researchers can learn about the current limitations of our knowledge about the autism spectrum and employment.
