The increased prevalence of young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) translates into a dire need to find ways to facilitate successful employment opportunities. Employment options are limited because of impaired communication and social skills that are vital for the workplace. There are a growing number of studies published on the need for employment, and primarily social psychologists, medical, and rehabilitation professionals have conducted this research; this necessitates multidisciplinary research that involves workforce development experts. Our study identified ways that human resource development (HRD) professionals can foster skill development and promote a work environment that supports the success of employees with ASD. Through a narrative literature review, key themes were identified as critical employment strategies that fall within the scope of HRD. As agents of change, HRD professionals can play a role in the multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach needed to facilitate improved work outcomes of employees with ASD.

患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻人的患病率上升意味着迫切需要寻找方法来促进成功的就业机会。由于交流和社交技能受损对工作场所至关重要，因此就业选择受到限制。关于就业需求的研究越来越多，主要是社会心理学家，医学和康复专业人士进行了这项研究。这需要涉及劳动力开发专家的多学科研究。我们的研究确定了人力资源开发（HRD）专业人员可以促进技能发展和促进支持ASD员工成功的工作环境的方式。通过叙述性文学评论，关键主题被确定为HRD范围内的关键就业策略。作为变革的推动者，HRD专业人员可以在促进ASD员工改善工作成果所需的多层面和多学科方法中发挥作用。
