Abstract

In recent years, while Chinese front-line researchers and practitioners have made significant progress in their understanding and support of intervention and education for children with autism between 0 and 16 years of age, the vocational education support they need as adults and the employment difficulties they face are still lack of attention and support from policies and society. This article aims to investigate the employment status of autistic teenagers aged 16 and over in China by exploring the views of 317 parents with autistic children from 30 provinces across the country on issues related to vocational support and employment outcomes. Through the survey of employment status and satisfaction, this article will discuss the difficulties faced by autistic young people and the employment support they need and make recommendations that may contribute to the futural improvement of employment support for policy makers and education providers.
