This is a list of research papers and articles about individuals on the spectrum in the workplace. This list is a work in progress and although I wish I could give you all access to the articles themselves, that is not possible due to copyright laws. In case you do not have access to a university library, I will include a link to where you may purchase the articles. The articles will be listed on this page by year, then alphabetically by first author within each year.
This page includes papers on:
