Transtorno do Espectro Autista e o mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The final paper presents the rights of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), their diagnosis and treatment, as well as discussing the laws that protect people with ASD, the critiques of these laws, their inclusion in the job market, and finally, concrete cases highlighting the challenges that individuals with ASD face when securing employment. The purpose of the entire work is to point out what rights people with ASD have and what is lacking for these rights to be genuinely applied. Thus, there will be a comparison between what the law states and what happens in practice. Through qualitative, doctrinal, and jurisprudential research, the laws created by the legislator aimed at fundamental rights are examined, with an emphasis on inclusion in the job market. The research utilizes various doctrinal sources, laws, and real examples to argue the guidelines that govern the laws protecting people with autism. Accordingly, the first chapter deals with the concept of the autism spectrum, levels of impairment, treatments, and diagnosis of ASD. The second chapter explores the legal framework of the topic with an analysis of jurisprudential applications, court summaries, and the respective doctrinal understandings. Finally, the third chapter discusses the inclusion of individuals with ASD in the job market, the difficulties and benefits of hiring, and the public policies of inclusion in the job market through Supported Employment. In conclusion, the lack of inclusion measures through public policies and information is the main reason for the exclusion of these individuals from the job market
