Summary:

This case study describes the use of a qualitative online survey in research exploring how universities support autistic students with employability and employment. The survey gathered data on support for developing employability skills, navigating recruitment for placements or jobs, and managing workplace relationships. Because autistic people often experience anxiety in interviews (and interviews can be a greater employment barrier for them than for neurotypical people) a survey was chosen over interviews or focus groups. The study, published in Autism in Adulthood, produced rich qualitative data that informed strong recommendations for universities on improving employability support for autistic students. The case study also outlines effective survey question types for enabling autistic participants to share their views, and reflects on how the research aims might evolve during and after data analysis.
