Coping Mechanisms among Youth and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Competitive Employment
2021
Overview
Successful integration into employment is an ongoing issue for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A primary barrier to successful employment includes being unable to cope with the social demands of work because people with ASD are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to explore how youth and young adults with ASD cope with stress and anxiety in competitive employment. A phenomenological study was conducted involving in-depth interviews with twelve youth and young adults with ASD. Findings revealed three main themes: (1) salient workplace factors, (2) stress and/or anxiety inducers, and (3) coping mechanisms. The findings shed new light on the impact of stress, anxiety and coping on youth and young adults with ASD and have potential to educate employers about the issues that such employees encounter.
