The Autism at Work Research Workshop brings together leading scholars, employers, clinicians, service providers, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and autism advocates concerned with autism employment. Their work may relate to the preparation, recruitment, persistence, advancement, and management of autistic individuals in the workplace. Our objectives are to
- Build a community of people concerned with issues related to the preparation and employment of autistic individuals and convey these concerns to the others in the community
- Offer opportunities to connect practitioners with researchers to develop or evaluate supports for the employment of autistic individuals
- Provide a collaborative space for scholars to share their work and receive constructive feedback in order to advance autism employment research
- Further develop a research agenda to advance evidence-based practices to equitably include individuals with autism in the workplace
