BORGONOVI SILVA BARBI, Karina et al. Challenges of social interaction of people with autism in the job market. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2024, vol.18, n.1, e3283.  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v18i1.3283.

Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have behavioral and social interaction difficulties as typical characteristics of their syndrome. For those who require support and are able to enter the job market, several obstacles are experienced, including losses in selection processes, suffering from stigma and prejudice, and inadequacy of environmental and communication structures. This scoping review sought to explore the social aspects present in the reality of individuals with ASD inserted in the job market, in an attempt to identify the inherent difficulties at the various levels, as well as what support measures were taken. Thirty-six articles were located and analyzed from the Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, SciELO and PePSIC databases, none of which were written in Latin America. Results point to the lack of knowledge at a satisfactory level about ASD on the part of organizations, managers, and co-workers, in order to prevent discrimination, adapt working conditions, and promote the professional fulfillment of this population with justice and dignity.

Keywords : autism; labor market; discrimination; deficiency.
