Abstract

This study identified situations where communication was a barrier to employment for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Informant interviewees were six college graduates with ASD who have been employed for one year. Following the qualitative inductive analysis, five communication-related themes emerged: (1) job interviewing success, (2) negotiating co-worker interactions, (3) supervisory interactions, instruction, and feedback, (4) handling customer intercommunication, and (5) communication-oriented coping strategies. Participants were relatively more successful in communication coping strategies and supervisory interaction compared to difficulties with job interviewing and co-worker interactions. Vocational rehabilitation counsellors assisting clients with ASD should prioritize job interview communication skills and social skill education specific to appropriate interactions with co-workers and supervisors utilizing role play, social skill training, and job coaching.
自闭症患者工作相关沟通障碍的初步定性研究
这项研究确定了沟通是自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)成年人就业障碍的情况。知情的受访者是六名ASD大学毕业生,他们已就业一年。经过定性归纳分析,出现了五个与沟通相关的主题:(1)工作面试的成功,(2)协商同事互动,(3)监督互动、指导和反馈,(4)处理客户互动,以及(5)以沟通为导向的应对策略。与工作面试和同事互动的困难相比,参与者在沟通应对策略和监督互动方面相对更成功。协助ASD患者的职业康复顾问应优先考虑工作面试沟通技能和社交技能教育,特别是利用角色扮演、社交技能培训和工作指导与同事和主管进行适当互动。
