abstract: 'Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are three to four
times less largely to be with employment compared to neurotypical
others. Theory based studies may provide helpful indicators for the
design and implementation of employment supports for people with
ASD.Objective: This critical review examined the extent of the evidence
for theory in studies on employment outcomes for people with ASD and
taking into account social inequality. For the evidence, 35 studies were
selected for review if they were published in the period 2000-2016 and
assessed for the association between work participation with ASD
applying descriptive survey or quasi-experimental design.Methods:
Studies were examined for use of any theory, including four
predetermined theory types: social liminality, psychosocial, behavioral,
and structural-infrastructural. They were also content-analyzed to
determine if they cited any evidence of social inequality influences on
employment outcomes with ASD.Findings: Results indicated that none of
the studies explicitly applied and tested a theory on work participation
with ASD. Rather, the majority of the studies were implicitly framed on
predominantly behavioral type theory with minor elements of workplace
psychosocial support theory-oriented interventions. Regard of
structural-infrastructural type theory addressing social inequality is
incidentally addressed by a few of the studies (n = 3) that examined
family income status influences.Conclusion: In conclusion, extant
studies on the association between employment outcomes and ASD are
seriously limited in their explanatory value by a lack of theoretical
grounding. They also neglect influences of antecedent social inequality
in employment outcomes with ASD. Future studies should apply specific
theory to questions on employment outcomes with ASD to provide usable
evidence to inform employment support policy instruments and
interventions for people with ASD.'
