Employment expert explains what adaptations might be needed for employees with autism and other disorders<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is estimated that over 3.5 million Americans have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although varying in degree, individuals with ASD can require several modifications to the workplace.<\/p>\n

Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, \u201cThe Americans with Disabilities Act<\/strong> (ADA<\/strong>) does not only protect Americans with physical challenges, but also those who have conditions such as autism, Asperger Syndrome and other developmental disorders. It is crucial that companies work to make their workplaces welcoming to all of their employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here, Wilson outlines steps that companies should take to make their workplaces ASD-friendly:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be aware that an individual cannot be penalized for behavior out of their control. \u201cFor example,\u201d says Wilson, \u201csome people with ASD might grunt or make repetitive motions with their hands or body. If this makes other employees uncomfortable or interrupts their work, do not move the employee with ASD or force him to make modifications. Instead, try to find another solution, such as allowing the use of headphones or asking the distracted employee to move desks.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Have a \u2018quiet\u2019 space. \u201cA designated quiet place where employees can retreat during the day can do wonders for mental health, especially those with developmental disorders. Make the room dark and quiet, and have a sign-in sheet that will allow employees to use the room for short breaks. This safe place will be an invaluable refuge for those with ASD and other conditions.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Be careful when changing company routine. \u201cIf you know that one of your employees has ASD, be aware that changes in their daily life can be very upsetting to them. Something as simple as moving their desk an inch to the right, or asking them to change their lunch break can be overwhelming. To that end, give your employee plenty of warning time before making any big changes. This will help to ensure workflow continues without disruption or undue upset.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Troubleshoot solutions with your employee. \u201cEvery individual with ASD has differing needs and concerns. Talk to your employee about how you can make their work life more comfortable and productive. Perhaps they would work better if they could wear ear plugs, or if the bright overhead light was turned down.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Educate your employees. \u201cIt is important that people understand that jokes or rude comments will not be tolerated, and that such behavior will be viewed as discrimination. Instead, encourage inclusivity\u2014while honoring your employee\u2019s privacy, of course, as they may not want their diagnosis made public.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
