abstract: 'Community brief Why is this an important issue?Employment is important
|
||||
|
||||
for income, quality of life, and the ability to get the supports or
|
||||
|
||||
services a person needs. Autistic adults are more likely to be
|
||||
|
||||
unemployed or underemployed when compared with neurotypical adults and
|
||||
|
||||
people with other disabilities. There are many environmental barriers to
|
||||
|
||||
participating in adult activities in the community, but issues with
|
||||
|
||||
transportation are a primary barrier. In previous research, a high
|
||||
|
||||
number of autistic adults (72\%) reported that they had missed some of
|
||||
|
||||
their desired activities due to lack of transportation. It is important
|
||||
|
||||
to understand the relationship between transportation and employment to
|
||||
|
||||
know how to overcome barriers and improve employment options for
|
||||
|
||||
autistic adults who want to work. What was the purpose of this
|
||||
|
||||
research?The purpose of this research was to look at transportation and
|
||||
|
||||
employment status (i.e., employed or unemployed). Specifically, this
|
||||
|
||||
study compared types of transportation used and perceived barriers to
|
||||
|
||||
transportation between autistic adults who were employed and those who
|
||||
|
||||
were unemployed. What did the researchers do?Information was collected
|
||||
|
||||
from 1120 autistic adults through a large statewide survey, which
|
||||
|
||||
included questions about employment and transportation. Information from
|
||||
|
||||
autistic adults who were employed and those who were not employed was
|
||||
|
||||
compared. What were the results of the study?Results of this comparison
|
||||
|
||||
showed that participants who were employed were more likely to drive
|
||||
|
||||
themselves and less likely to take rides from other people or to use
|
||||
|
||||
service transportation. Those who were employed also reported fewer
|
||||
|
||||
barriers to public transportation. Barriers such as crime, planning a
|
||||
|
||||
trip, treatment by fellow passengers, cost, knowledge on how to use
|
||||
|
||||
public transportation, and sensory overload were identified by more
|
||||
|
||||
people who were unemployed than by people who were employed. How will
|
||||
|
||||
these findings help autistic adults now or in the future?The study
|
||||
|
||||
identified specific barriers to transportation for autistic adults who
|
||||
|
||||
are unemployed. This information can help to guide supports and policies
|
||||
|
||||
to reduce barriers for travel needed for employment. In addition,
|
||||
|
||||
results of this study can help guide future research to develop or
|
||||
|
||||
identify the transportation skills needed for travel to work for
|
||||
|
||||
autistic adults.
|
||||
|
||||
Background: Autistic adults are significantly unemployed or
|
||||
|
||||
underemployed even compared with other disability groups. Employment is
|
||||
|
||||
a social determinant that, when satisfied, closely influences
|
||||
|
||||
health-related quality of life. For autistic adults, environmental
|
||||
|
||||
barriers to transportation can impact the ability to get to employment
|
||||
|
||||
resulting in limited employment opportunities. This study provides a
|
||||
|
||||
closer examination of the association between transportation use and
|
||||
|
||||
employment status.Objective: To examine the use of different types of
|
||||
|
||||
transportation and barriers to public transit by employed and unemployed
|
||||
|
||||
autistic adults.Method: The data were from a large statewide study
|
||||
|
||||
conducted between May 2017 and June 2018 using the Pennsylvania Autism
|
||||
|
||||
Needs Assessment (PANA), in which information about employment and
|
||||
|
||||
transportation use was obtained from autistic adults who were residents
|
||||
|
||||
of Pennsylvania. The study sample included 1120 autistic adults (M-age =
|
||||
|
||||
28.03 years, standard deviation = 9.84; 70\% men; 82\% non-Hispanic
|
||||
|
||||
White).Results: Participants who were employed were more likely to drive
|
||||
|
||||
themselves than those who were unemployed (45\% vs. 21\%, p < 0.001),
|
||||
|
||||
while they were less likely to take rides from others (62\% vs. 75\%, p
|
||||
|
||||
< 0.001) or use service transportation (11\% vs. 18\%, p = 0.001). For
|
||||
|
||||
barriers to public transit, the results identified that employed
|
||||
|
||||
participants reported fewer barriers to public transportation than
|
||||
|
||||
unemployed participants with a small effect size (1.98 vs. 2.54, d =
|
||||
|
||||
0.22).Conclusion: Employed autistic adults exercise more transportation
|
||||
|
||||
independence. Unemployed autistic adults report more barriers to
|
||||
|
||||
participation and lower ability to independently use public
|
||||
|
||||
transportation. Future transportation and employment studies are
|
||||
|
||||
necessary.'
