abstract: 'Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
To determine the most appropriate and effective support to enable
|
||||
|
||||
autistic people to gain and maintain employment in their chosen field.
|
||||
|
||||
This paper aims to determine this and by which methods are most suitable
|
||||
|
||||
for this kind of support, with a focus on mentoring.
|
||||
|
||||
Design/methodology/approach
|
||||
|
||||
Mentoring is an intervention that has shown promise in assisting people
|
||||
|
||||
who encounter barriers in finding work (for example, Roycroft, 2014).
|
||||
|
||||
This research was conducted to determine whether the mentoring of
|
||||
|
||||
autistic adults is effective in helping them to gain and maintain
|
||||
|
||||
employment. The study examined the mentoring records of 90 autistic
|
||||
|
||||
adults who were in receipt of funded mentoring with 18 separate
|
||||
|
||||
organisations across England.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings
|
||||
|
||||
The authors found that the nationally recognised statistic of autistic
|
||||
|
||||
people in full-time employment as 16\% (National Autistic Society, 2016)
|
||||
|
||||
was ambitious and subject to regional variation. Based on the results of
|
||||
|
||||
a programme providing employment and mentoring support that is available
|
||||
|
||||
and accessible to autistic people, however, outcomes improve and
|
||||
|
||||
employment is more likely to be achieved and maintained - including in
|
||||
|
||||
areas of, especially low employment. It was found that 48\% of autistic
|
||||
|
||||
job seekers who were supported by specialist mentors found paid
|
||||
|
||||
employment (full-time or part-time), demonstrating a 16\% increase in
|
||||
|
||||
paid employment between those who received mentoring support and those
|
||||
|
||||
who did not.
|
||||
|
||||
Research limitations/implications
|
||||
|
||||
A wider study across the UK would first determine if the nationally
|
||||
|
||||
recognised figure is incorrect and also highlight those areas of the
|
||||
|
||||
country which perform particularly well or badly.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value
|
||||
|
||||
This paper believes that this is the only research of it is kind in the
|
||||
|
||||
UK and that it is a springboard for others who have greater resources
|
||||
|
||||
available to them. This study is two very early-career academics on the
|
||||
|
||||
autism spectrum with limited resources available to us.'
