WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 2

Working title-

Barriers that affect the work performance among employees diagnosed with Autism Spectrum

Disorder.

Purpose of this paper-

Employees with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may exhibit several behaviors their

supervisors, coworkers, and others find challenging. At the same time, those employees with

ASD often see the world at large a challenge, and the behavior of other employees may be

confusing to them. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), About 1

in 59 individuals have been diagnosed with ASD (CDC, 2014). ASD is a developmental

disability that is shown to cause significant behavioral challenges and difficulties with social

communication (CDC, 2014). The paper is going to focus on barriers that affect work

performance among people who have ASD and the steps that can be taken to manage these

obstacles in employment. Also, it will propose a theoretical outline for managing work barriers.

Barriers Impacting Work Performance among ASD

ASD is associated with intellectual disabilities and emotional challenges. According to

research, the rate of employment among adults with ASD is only twenty-two percent, where

most people work at their homes. The society and the government have identified the need for

increasing the opportunities for people with ASD (Scott et al., 2019). However, it is not easy to

understand the programs that offer adaptive and social employment outcomes. Individuals with

Autism are sensitive to things that do not affect other people. For instance, some of them cannot

shake hands while others are afraid of fluorescent lights. On the other hand, they are unique in

which they have special interests that make them productive in specific jobs.
