<p>This study identifies behaviours that support self-understanding for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participating in vocational rehabilitation. The qualitative research (Study 1) used conceptual analysis to identify vocational rehabilitation practitioners’ concept of support for self-understanding. The quantitative research (Study 2) surveyed 155 Japanese vocational rehabilitation practitioners using a questionnaire based on the results of Study 1. Exploratory factor analysis of the survey data determined the structure of behaviours that support self-understanding for people with ASD and found three behaviour types: ‘Environmental setting of the current situation’, ‘Promoting awareness of the current situation’, and ‘Reflection based on collected information’. A practitioner was deemed to promote self-understanding support by using a combination of these three behaviours while heeding to the disabling characteristics of people with ASD. Identified support behaviours could be used as a fundamental perspective to develop a support programme to promote self-understanding for people with ASD.</p>

The unemployment rate of those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is staggeringly low. The low number of those with ASD in the competitive workforce can be connected to the complex and sometimes severe manifestations of the disorder. However, there are many supports and accommodations that individuals with ASD can use in order to alleviate the stress of finding and maintaining competitive employment. Natural supports can be provided through supportive supervisors, informed coworkers, and on-the-job trainings. Vocational rehabilitation services are provided in order to assess, prepare, and support individuals with ASD through their employment. Lastly, job modifications are used to alleviate any stressors that an employee with ASD may experience on the job. In this literature it was found that natural supports, vocational rehabilitation services, and job modifications were effective in improving the employment outcomes for individuals with ASD. Rehabilitation counselors can use the information found in this literature review to inform employers of successful and effective job supports for employees with ASD.
