| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the aim of developing a work readiness assessment tool specific to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this study conducted interviews with individuals with ASD and questionnaire surveys of the general population. As a result, a 39-item, 5-factor 'Work Readiness Scale for Autism Spectrum Disorder Traits' was developed and its reliability and some validities were confirmed. Further validation of the validity and clinical usefulness of the scale will require ongoing surveys of people with ASD.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
青年期・成人期のASD当事者は、就労や就労継続に困難を抱えている場合も多い。効果的な就労支援を行うためには、本人の就労準備性を把握する必要がある。しかし、ASD当事者が簡便に利用でき、科学的な裏付けのあるアセスメントツールは認められなかった。今回、自閉スペクトラム傾向者用就労準備性尺度を開発できたことで、就労を希望するASD当事者を適切な支援に結び付け、支援による変化も把握することが可能になり、臨床場面で非常に有意義なことと考えられる。
