力爭上游-一位穩定就業的輕症自閉症者之復原力研究

Abstract

摘要

本研究是採用質性研究的方法，從生涯的觀點探討自閉症者之復原力的歷程，透過半結構之深入訪談的方式，訪談一位輕症自閉症者與其家人，從中探究其成長、求學到進入職場穩定就業的復原力歷程。研究資料的蒐集方式主要是深入訪談，並輔以與研究參與者互動而得之其他資料。

透過研究者為期半年的訪談、資料蒐集、資料分析以及內容詮釋，研究者將以生命故事的方式，一步一步來呈現自閉症者今昔的經驗故事與進入職場的就業歷程，並且進一步找出其復原力的關鍵因素。本研究以一位個案進行討論，不適宜擴大推論，主要發現歸納如以下三點：

一、 自閉症者和我們一樣，離開校園之後有穩定就業的需求，但他們更需要透過雙向的溝通和理解，才能順利走入職場進而被肯定、包容和接納，這樣的過程需要家庭和社區多面向的支持與合作。 二、 透過自閉症者在環境互動中對自我信心的建立，將有助於其在遭遇艱困環境時更容易從逆境中復原，也更能以正向態度重新認知過往的挫敗經驗，進而更積極的面對工作中之挑戰。 三、 自閉症者穩定就業之關鍵在於，家庭正向信念的支持、社會適應能力的提升、工作型態符合其障礙特質以及公司內部有系統之就業培訓歷程。 末了，研究者也提出了相關建議，期望可供後續研究之參考。Abstract
