Resumo: | Our article aims to identify managers’ perceptions and actions for inclusion of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in organizations that employ these professionals in Brazil. The number of people diagnosed with autism in the US has increased, according to 2021 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In comparison with the USA, from the transposition of the data, Brazil counts a number close to 4.48 million of autistic people (Paiva, 2021) in 2021. Most Brazilian organizations do not offer minimum conditions for the inclusion of these professionals (Leopoldino, 2018), and the topic is still scarce in the international and national academic literature, especially empirically. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six executives from national and foreign companies that hire professionals with ASD. Through thematic analysis, managers’ perceptions of these professionals and the inclusion actions adopted by them were identified. The results indicate that the perceptions of managers are based on stereotypes but these end up changing as they live with professionals with ASD. Regarding actions for inclusion, the importance of a culture of inclusion was identified, as well as the monitoring of professionals with ASD by intermediaries at all stages of their careers and the attention of those involved with their health. The results provide useful findings for organizations that promote diversity and show that actions for the inclusion of people with ASD are still incipient in our country. |

El número de personas diagnosticadas con autismo en EE.UU. aumentó según datos de 2021 de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC); con base en la transposición de datos, Brasil tendría alrededor de 4,48 millones de personas autistas (Paiva, 2021). La mayoría de las organizaciones brasileñas no ofrece condiciones mínimas para la inclusión de estos profesionales (Leopoldino, 2018) y el tema aún es escaso en la literatura académica internacional y nacional, especialmente de manera empírica. Para este estudio, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a seis ejecutivos de empresas nacionales y extranjeras que contratan profesionales con TEA. A través del análisis temático, se identificaron las percepciones de los gerentes sobre estos profesionales y las acciones de inclusión adoptadas por ellos. Los resultados indican que las percepciones de los gerentes se basan en estereotipos, pero que estos acaban cambiando a medida que conviven con profesionales con TEA. En cuanto a las acciones para la inclusión, se identificó la importancia de una cultura de inclusión, del seguimiento de los profesionales con TEA por parte de los intermediarios en todas las etapas de su carrera y de la atención de los involucrados con su salud. Los resultados brindan hallazgos útiles para las organizaciones que promueven la diversidad, además de mostrar que las acciones para la inclusión de personas con TEA son aún incipientes en nuestro país.Nosso artigo tem como objetivo identificar quais são as percepções e ações para inclusão, do ponto de vista de gestores, de pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) nas organizações que empregam esses profissionais no Brasil. O número de pessoas diagnosticadas com autismo nos Estados Unidos tem aumentado, conforme dados do Centers com base na transposição dos dados, o Brasil teria um número próximo a 4,48 milhões de autistas (Paiva, 2021) em 2021.

Por meio da análise temática, foram identificadas as percepções dos gestores sobre esses profissionais e as ações de inclusão adotadas por eles. Os resultados indicam que as percepções dos gestores têm como base estereótipos, mas que estes acabam se alterando à medida que convivem com profissionais com TEA. Com relação às ações para inclusão, foram identificados a importância da cultura de inclusão, o acompanhamento do profissional com TEA pelos intermediadores em todas as etapas da carreira e a atenção dos envolvidos com a saúde deles. Os resultados fornecem achados úteis para organizações que promovem a diversidade, além de mostrar que as ações para a inclusão de pessoas com TEA ainda se mostram incipientes em nosso país.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-02-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8878610.1590/1679-395120220061Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2023); e2022-0061Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 1 (2023); e2022-0061Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 1 (2023); e2022-00611679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88786/83467https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88786/83468Basto, Ana Teresa Oliveira da SilvaCepellos, Vanessa Martinesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-02-16T03:40:45Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/88786Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:32.988697Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
