Abstract
This paper explores the challenges faced by autistic individuals in vocational training and their transition to the general labor market in Germany. It focuses on how assistive technologies (AT) can enhance their employment prospects. The research employs observations and interviews at a Vocational Training Center (VTC) to understand the specific needs of autistic people in workplace settings, particularly office-based environments. The study identifies key challenges, support measures, and factors influencing dropout rates in vocational training. It also highlights the potential benefits of AT in fostering a more inclusive work environment and aiding autistic individuals in overcoming employment barriers. The findings emphasize the need for AT that is adaptable to individual needs and compatible with various work settings, ultimately promoting inclusion and better employment outcomes for people with autism.
