Understanding job seeking and workforce experiences of autistic adults in librarianship may help to create more inclusive practices in the field. However, the topic largely remains unexplored. This may be in part due to traditional research practices that do little to encourage meaningful participation from autistic adults. Ten interviews were conducted with autistic librarians in professional and paraprofessional roles about their workforce experiences, using inclusive, accessible measures and providing options for communication and participation. Findings reveal common themes for autistic librarians in the workforce, and also lead to implications for research involving members of the population. Based on findings, guidelines for future research are presented. By moving toward a more accessible, participatory research approach, qualitative studies can gain a better understanding of participants' lived experiences while producing work with practical implications for members of the population itself.

了解自闭症成年人在图书馆工作中的求职和劳动力经历可能有助于在该领域创造更具包容性的实践。但是，该主题在很大程度上仍未得到探索。这可能部分是由于传统的研究实践对鼓励自闭症成年人有意义的参与几乎没有作用。对担任专业和准专业角色的自闭症图书馆员进行了 10 次访谈，了解他们的工作经历，使用包容性、可访问的措施并提供交流和参与的选项。调查结果揭示了劳动力中自闭症图书馆员的共同主题，也对涉及人群的研究产生了影响。根据研究结果，提出了未来研究的指导方针。通过转向更容易获得、参与性的研究方法，
