Disclosure and workplace accommodations for people with autism: a systematic review.

Conclusions: Our findings highlight that disclosing a condition of autism in the workplace and requesting accommodations is complex. More research is needed to explore processes of disclosing and accommodation and how these processes vary by autism sub-type, gender, and industry type. Implications for rehabilitation Clinicians and vocational Counselors should support people with autism to advocate for their needs in the workplace, including the potential benefits of disclosing their conditions so they can access accommodations that allow them to keep healthy and productive in workplace. Clinicians should recognize that people with autism spectrum disorder may have different workplace accommodation needs than those with other types of disabilities, in particular support with social and communication skills. Clinicians should aid people with autism to access resources and supports that are available to them to access workplace accommodations. PMID: 31282214 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
