While people with ASD often face barriers such as social and communication difficulties and sensory sensitivities, however, they also possess unique strengths, including attention to detail, pattern recognition, dedication to particular interests and innovative thinking. This study explores, through literature review in databases, like PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, the challenges, strengths, and benefits of integrating individuals with ASD into the workforce, emphasizing the importance of tailored support and inclusive practices. Companies like Microsoft, SAP, and Specialisterne have pioneered initiatives to integrate individuals with ASD into the workplace, leveraging digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to support their needs. Programs highlight the benefits of neurodiversity, such as increased innovation and productivity. By creating inclusive environments and utilizing AI tools, organizations can unlock the potential of individuals with ASD, fostering both social and economic growth.

Introduction The inclusion of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the workforce is a critical issue in diversity and workplace equity. Despite legislative and institutional frameworks supporting neurodivergent employment, ASD individuals face significant challenges, including employer biases, inadequate accommodations, and structural barriers. This study systematically examines the factors affecting ASD workforce participation, the efficacy of policies, employer perspectives, technological interventions, and economic benefits. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study integrates existing literature, case studies, and statistical analyses to identify best practices and propose actionable solutions for sustainable employment inclusion. The growing awareness of neurodiversity has shifted discussions toward inclusive employment strategies for ASD individuals. Despite advancements in disability rights, unemployment rates among ASD individuals remain disproportionately high. This study seeks to bridge the gap between existing policies and practical implementation by analyzing systemic barriers and proposing data-driven solutions. 2. Methods This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. A systematic review of relevant policies, employer perspectives, and workplace accommodations is conducted to understand the current landscape of ASD employment. Case studies of inclusive hiring initiatives, such as those implemented by Microsoft, SAP, and JPMorgan Chase, provide insight into best practices. A comparative analysis of legislative frameworks across multiple countries is performed to assess their effectiveness in fostering ASD workforce inclusion. Additionally, existing employment statistics and economic impact assessments are utilized to evaluate the success and limitations of incentive programs. Research questions of this study include:
