Background Information
• Percentages of children diagnosed with ASD A recent study of a U.S. metropolitan area estimated that
3.4 of every 1,000 children 3-10 years old had autism. (see reference 1)
Another study indicates that 1 in 150 children (0.67%) have ASD. (see reference 2)

More Background Information
• At Vocational Rehabilitation, I work with both adults and students. The students are in the School-To-Work program and constitute approximately ½ of my total caseload.
• The School-To-Work caseload is currently 138 active students and of the 138, 6 students (or 4.7%) have been diagnosed with a form of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
*The difference between the population and the caseload percentages is that, I believe, the caseload is mainly drawn from the ESE population in the schools.

Viva la Difference
My students diagnosed with ASD vary widely!• Yakety yak
Great kid! You will get more information than you thought was possible!
• Nose in a NookNo eye contact, have to extract a response to a question.
• Super blunt – beyond rudeIf he thinks you are old or ugly, he will let you know in no uncertain terms (don’t take it personally) but it will be hard for him to work for someone if that continues.
• Verrrrrrry literalDon’t use “You can’t tell a book by it’s cover” or “You hit the nail on the head” unless you are prepared to explain yourself!

Focus on one student
• VR began working with the student June of 2007 at the beginning of his Senior year.
• Diagnosed with Asperger’s Disorder in 2001.
• Graduated with a Special Diploma.
• Always has had an interest in art and graphics.
• Lacked daily living skills and needed training to get into vocational training.

Focus on one student (part 2)
• Special “school” identified out of county, however, not approved because it fit the description of supported living which is not a VR service.
• Very strong family support.• Vocational evaluation done supporting commercial or
graphic designer.• Student enrolled in remediation to “up” his TABE scores.• Customer enrolled in a “local”, public vocational school
to study Commercial Art Technology which included use of the Illustrator computer program and silk screening.
• Student received a Certificate in Commercial Art Technology!

Focus on one student (part 3)
• Student had some vocational skills but still needed skills in getting and keeping a job.
• USF Learning Academy came to the rescue and he spent almost a year in Tampa including an internship at a sign company there.
• The student is now, in conjunction with VR, is exploring self-employment with the aid of a Certified Business and Technical Assistance Consultant (CBTAC). He is also doing commercial graphic work for local business.
• The outlook for him is very promising mostly due to strong support from every direction.

Developing a Vocational Goal
• Explore the student’s interests.• Explore the student’s abilities.• Explore the student’s assets and shortfalls.• Do a Vocational Evaluation and Situational Assessment if
able.• Be realistic about a goal if the person is planning to stay
where they are and not relocate (i.e. live in a rural area and unable to drive or goal does not relate to any available work in the area)
• A University of Missouri Guide for VR Professionals states “The ideal vocational evaluation for a person with ASD is a thorough interview (ideally as a series of short interviews held in a place that is familiar and comfortable for the person) followed by observations of the person in their normal activities and locations and by observations in one or two novel situations.”

Competitive Employment Prospects
• Of the 6 students in the caseload: 1 is headed for self-employment. 1 is at the USF Learning Academy learning life and
job skills. 2 are taking community college courses going toward
an AA degree. 1 will not be able to be competitively employed due to
other diagnoses. 1 will be difficult (but not impossible) to be
competitively employed due to oppositional features.

In Summary
• More and more services are becoming available for people with ASD.
• Be aware of special accommodations they may need (quiet, order, working alone).
• Include other Agencies or organizations in the process: Social Security USF Vocational Evaluators Psychologists APD (Agency for Persons with Disabilities-Florida’s
DD Waiver) Family Schools

Initial Perspective
• Basic knowledge, but always a belief everyone can work. • Autism can make it harder due to impaired social
interactions, limited work & educational skills, transportation, stigmas, parent involvement.
• Further experience & training: people with ASD can work based on individualized capabilities, gained knowledge, exposure to available opportunities
• Outcome relates to training, education, knowledge and exposure
