요약Autistic people are unemployed and underemployed at greater rates than their allistic peers. Employment status is important because it has been shown to have an impact on mental health and wellbeing. Despite their strengths, autistic employees are highly stigmatized and often discriminated against or excluded from the workplace. Due to this stigma and its impact on social relationships, autistic adults are known to mask, or camouflage, during social interactions in the workplace, which has a negative impact on their mental health. Guided by the social identity approach to autism and the minority stress model, this dissertation seeks to understand the autistic workplace experience and explores frequencies of autism microaggressions, discrimination, interpersonal conflict, and autistic camouflaging in the workplace, and evaluates their impact on mental health and job satisfaction. Moreover, this dissertation provides suggestions for employers to improve the autistic workplace experience. The specific aims of this dissertation are as follows: 1) Report the frequency of social maltreatment (e.g., autism microaggressions, everyday discrimination, and interpersonal conflict at work) and examine its relationship with sociodemographic and mental health factors, autistic identity disclosure, job satisfaction, and camouflaging, 2) Report the frequency of autistic camouflaging in the workplace and examine its relationship with sociodemographic and mental health factors, job satisfaction, and social maltreatment, and 3) Explore potential solutions for decreasing social maltreatment in the workplace. Data were collected from n=169 employed, autistic adults and were analyzed using mixed methods, including descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and reflexive thematic analysis. Autistic adults reported high levels of autism microaggressions and autistic camouflaging in the workplace. Microaggressions were significantly more prevalent among participants who identified as being more than one race, as Hispanic/Latine, and had disclosed their autism status at work. When adjusting for race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and autistic identity disclosure, social maltreatment was associated with depression, social interaction anxiety, job satisfaction, and autistic camouflaging. Autistic camouflaging at work was associated with being female, non-binary, and transgender. When adjusting for race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and autistic identity disclosure, autistic camouflaging was associated with social interaction anxiety. When exploring how autistic adults camouflage at work, reflexive thematic analysis resulted in the identification of five themes: 1) a response to being silenced, 2) compulsory production of extra labor, 3) a response to encountering prejudice or abuse, 4) forced repression of identity, and 5) ways of coping. Integrated mixed methods analysis found that qualitative responses supported the quantitative finding that camouflaging was associated with social interaction anxiety and everyday discrimination. When exploring potential solutions for employers to reduce autism microaggressions at work, two major themes were identified: 1) address allistic deficiencies in empathy, and 2) value diversity, equity, and inclusion. Integrated mixed methods analysis found that qualitative responses supported the quantitative findings that 90% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that employers should provide education to allistic employees on the harms of autism microaggressions and that 87% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that employers should provide bystander training to allistic employees to support autistic coworkers who experience autism microaggressions. These results suggest that interventions are needed that address the mental health challenges experienced by autistic employees as a result of social maltreatment. There is also a need for interventions that address workplace culture and promote positive treatment of autistic workers.
