Employability in autism spectrum disorder (ASD): Job candidate’s diagnostic disclosure and asd characteristics and employer’s ASD knowledge and social desirability..

Résumé
Participants assessed the employability of vignette characters whose presentation varied across two dimensions during a job interview: presence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) characteristics (present, absent) and disclosure of diagnosis (ASD, ADHD, diabetes, or no disclosure). Participants more knowledgeable about ASD had more positive perceptions of vignette characters, particularly when they disclosed an ASD diagnosis and did not show ASD characteristics. Participants high in social desirability perceived vignette characters more positively. Participants expressed the most concern about job candidates showing inflexible adherence to a routine and sensory sensitivity, although such concerns may have been context-dependent due to job expectations. Overall, these results emphasize that employer factors, particularly employer knowledge of ASD and social desirability, significantly affect the perceived employability of job candidates with ASD.
