Abstract

This study is established to explore the direct and indirect discrimination experiences, especially in education and employment, of adults with high-functioning autism who are currently participating in social activities. For this purpose, interview guidelines were prepared by reviewing domestic and foreign research on discrimination towards disability and the disabled. Seven male and female people with autism were selected as research participants and individual in-depth interviews were conducted. The analysis of the data collected through the interview showed that the participants experienced discrimination and human rights violations throughout their school days, and that there exists the influence of those experiences on their current lives. In addition, through the content of the discrimination and human rights violations experienced by the participants during college and working life after becoming an adult, we were able to grasp the current level of understanding of our society about disabilities and people with disabilities. Based on this research result, discussions and follow-up studies were suggested to find ways to resolve the discrimination experienced by people with high-functioning autism in society.
