The contents of this scoping review can appeal to many different readers. Persons on the autism spectrum can learn about proven strategies that they can use to maximise their success in the workplace. Employers, tertiary students, and lay people can learn methods that they can use to help employees on the autism spectrum obtain and maintain employment. Finally, researchers can learn about the current limitations of our knowledge about the autism spectrum and employment.
