Abstract

A work-experience program executed by Royal Philips N.V. temporarily employs people with an autism spectrum disorder for one to a year and a half to prepare them for external employment. Results indicate a 29% increase in post-five-year employment for participants than the control group entitled to public support. However, no effect was found on employment with a competitive salary, only for the post-second year. Inclusivity enhances the careers of people with autism, but their potential to establish employment with a competitive salary on a permanent contract remains limited.
