Young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their employment possibilities
 KOLÁŘOVÁ, Denisa
The bachelor's thesis deals with the employment of people with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to approach the issue of employment in the labour market for people with ASD and at the same time describe the specifics of employing people with ASD and further connect the results with potential employers and acquaint the general public with the positives of employing people with ASD. Qualitative research was used to fulfil the above goal. With this chosen strategy, the research sample was selected through institutions that deal with the issue of ASD. The first research sample represent parents and children with autism spectrum disorder, and the next research sample are social inclusion workers. Data were obtained by the method of questioning, the technique of semi-controlled interview. Then, the data were evaluated by using open coding method followed by data categorization. The results show that people with ASD do not have much experience in employment and they mentioned employers as one of the prime reasons who are not inclined to offer positions to people with autism spectrum disorder. Despite offering them a number of benefits, both economic and individual. This bachelor's thesis and its findings can be useful as a warning to the general public and professionals interested in the issue of ASD. Another benefit can be considered an increase in awareness and the notion of employers about the employability of people with ASD - that's means factors and specifics associated with the employment of these individuals. Lastly, I would also mention the benefits for organizations in using new knowledge from practice.
