JFJacob FridchayARAbira Reizer

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how the experiences of autistic adults in the workplace are shaped by interactions between autistic and non-autistic employees.
  • Qualitative analysis of workplace interactions
  • Observations of organizational dynamics
  • Interviews with autistic and non-autistic employees
  • Inclusion is influenced by social interactions, not just policies.
  • Barriers to integration exist alongside opportunities for fostering wellbeing.
  • Authenticity is crucial for emotional safety in workplace settings.

Abstract

Findings underscore that inclusion is not solely determined by organizational policies but is co-constructed through everyday interactions between autistic and non-autistic employees. These dynamics present both barriers and opportunities for fostering social integration, authenticity, and workplace wellbeing. Implications are discussed for inclusive practices and future research on neurodiversity in the workplace.
