Abstract

Individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA) have demonstrated they have many significant benefits that they can contribute to an employer. However, given their social and behavioral differences, many individuals find themselves unemployed or underemployed. Presented here is a phenomenological study consisting of 12 self-identified HFA adults, which analyzes the lived experiences of these individuals specifically during a job interview. Four major themes emerged from this study: Interview Structure, Perceived Competency, Social Camouflaging, and Forced Normality. The findings of this study are clear that the standard interview processes used cause undue stress and anxiety for neurodivergent populations.

患有高功能自闭症(HFA)的个人已经证明,他们可以为雇主做出许多重大贡献。然而,鉴于他们的社会和行为差异,许多人发现自己失业或就业不足。这是一项现象学研究,由12名自我认同的HFA成年人组成,专门分析了这些人在面试中的生活经历。这项研究产生了四个主要主题:面试结构、感知能力、社会伪装和强迫常态。这项研究的结果清楚地表明,所使用的标准面试程序会给神经分化人群带来过度的压力和焦虑。
