Research and the popular press have provided confusing perspectives concerning the strategic integration of autistic individuals into organizations; some touting the benefits of a neurodiverse workforce and others noting the difficulty that many autistic individuals face in finding and maintaining employment. In this article, we examine these disparate views and build a reconciling framework that incorporates both the internal support that top management teams show for the integration of autistic individuals and the external visibility that can lead to their firm’s social approval. In turn, the combination of these internal and external perspectives contributes to explaining an organization’s ability to gain competitive advantage from hiring and managing autistic individuals. The proposed framework is augmented by vignettes, providing practitioners with takeaways for how to approach the topic of neurodiversity more successfully.

工作中的自闭症:内部和外部因素如何影响员工的业绩和公司绩效
研究和大众媒体就自闭症患者的战略整合提供了令人困惑的观点。一些人吹捧神经多样化劳动力的好处,而另一些人则指出许多自闭症患者在寻找和维持工作方面面临的困难。在本文中,我们研究了这些不同的观点,并建立了一个调和框架,其中融合了高层管理团队为自闭症患者的整合提供的内部支持以及可以导致其公司获得社会认可的外部可见性。反过来,这些内部和外部观点的结合有助于解释组织通过雇用和管理自闭症患者获得竞争优势的能力。提议的框架通过小插曲进行了扩充,
