This study was implemented to inquire into the permanent work experiences with talents rehabilitation and their impact on the life of individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families. For the purpose of the study, we conducted in-depth interviews and focus group interviews of designers working at the company Autistar which recruits individuals with autism spectrum disorders based on their talents and their parents. Six out of 10 designers who were able to communicate sufficiently for the purpose of the study and 10 parents were participated. As the results of the qualitative analysis, four major themes and 13 sub-themes were emerged. Four major themes are the following: (1) past job-related experiences, (2) Autistar work experiences, (3) future growth and development, (4) difficulties and support needs based on characteristics of autism spectrum disorders. Based on the results of the study, implications and suggestions were discussed centering around expanding employment based on talents rehabilitation of individuals with autism spectrum disorders, providing continuing support in work site, increasing high-quality outcome of employment, and establishing a systematic supporting system.
