Inserção de pessoas com autismo no ambiente profissional: uma análise das estratégias e políticas de inclusão/acessibilidade

Abstract

Objective: To analyze policies for integrating autistic employees into their designated roles in order to tailor work to their specific strengths and operate inclusively. Method: This study is a bibliographic, qualitative, and exploratory study. Databases from the CAPES Journal Portal, Scielo, and journals classified under Qualis/CAPES were utilized. The document analysis was conducted through the Federal Legislation Portal via the official Planalto website. Results: The results revealed that professionals with ASD have specific adaptation needs, and it is necessary to have good people management focused on the development, evolution, and retention of these professionals. Additionally, despite the existence of laws and policies that ensure the inclusion of people with ASD in the workforce, it was noted that this is still not happening as it should. Conclusion: Unfortunately, the inclusion of autistic individuals in the workplace has proven to be inadequate and exclusionary. Therefore, more inclusive policies are essential to integrate employees with ASD into their designated roles and the work environment.
