Anderson, A., Moore, D. W., Rausa, V. C., Finkelstein,
S., Pearl, S., & Stevenson, M. (2017). A systematic review of interventions
for adults with autism spectrum disorder to promote employment. Review
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 4(1), 26-38.
Written for the Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders,
this article is meant to promote employment for those on the autism spectrum.
Meant as a review regarding interventions that try to target improvements in
skills to help those on the autism spectrum disorder. It’s a bit of a heavy
read, but it’s worthwhile, especially if you want to go into just more detail
than the basics. The article was peer-reviewed, so it’s quite scholarly.

Part of a series of posts on college student mental health, the article
goes into detail on how the autism spectrum disorder plays into starting college
and gives key takeaways to help autistic students. The article, however, takes
this from the position of someone not on the spectrum, so this might be better
for you if you want to help someone else experiencing the problem. The author,
Connie Anderson, is credible, being currently in charge of Towson University’s
certificate program in autism studies, and holds a doctoral degree in sociology
and marriage & family from the University of Southern California.

If you’re looking for a starting point on wanting to
know how to handle yourself as someone on the autism spectrum, this is what
you’re looking for. Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 and has since grown into
a massive organization of information and help for those on the autistic
spectrum and those who are related to those on the spectrum as well. If you
intend to start looking for information to help you and you have nothing to go
on, start here.

Defining success for students with autism spectrum disorder: Social academic
behavior in secondary general education settings. Education and Training in
Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 51(3), 318-327.
A bit of a heavy read, the article is an
examination of a study published in the journal, Education and Training in
Autism and Developmental Disabilities. Though not the necessarily best thing to
look at if you’re looking for a simple explanation, if you feel that you’re up
for the task, this does have a lot of good information in here. Having four
different authors from Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville doesn’t hurt
either in terms of its scholarly quality.
