Vom Vermittlungsparadigma hin zur nachhaltigen Unterstützung von Unternehmen bei der Eingliederung von Menschen mit hochfunktionalen Autismus – Ergebnisse einer Arbeitgeberbefragung

Zusammenfassung

Im Rahmen des Projektes AUT-1A wurden 123 Arbeitgeber*innen mittels Fragebogen zu ihren Erfahrungen mit der Beschäftigung von autistischen Mitarbeiter*innen befragt. Ziel war es, die beschäftigungsfördernden und -hindernden Faktoren herauszuarbeiten. Die Studie deutet darauf hin, dass sich die berufliche Qualifizierung in den Berufsbildungswerken positiv auf die nachhaltige Beschäftigung von Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Diagnose (ASD) auswirkt, die Unterstützungsleistungen für Betriebe aber noch nicht hinreichend sind. Auch konnte eine mangelnde Aufklärung in Bezug auf eine autismusfreundliche Umgebungsgestaltung sowie eine mangelnde Aufklärung über die Diagnose Autismus der direkten Kolleg*innen herausgearbeitet werden.

Abstract

As part of the AUT-1A project, 123 employers were surveyed by questionnaires about their experiences with the employment of autistic employees. The aim was to identify the factors that promote and hinder employment. The study indicates that the vocational qualification in vocational training centers (BBW) has a positive effect on sustainable employment of people with autism spectrum diagnosis (ASD), but the support for companies is not sufficient yet. Also, a lack of education regarding autism-friendly environmental design as well as a lack of education about the diagnosis autism of the direct colleagues could be worked out.
