Incidencia del diagnóstico tardío de Autismo en el integración social-laboral de adultos jóvenes de la Fundación Sendero Azul.

Abstract

Autism has become one of the most common diagnoses today, and its consequences can be found in all types of patients. Many of them reach adulthood without even being properly diagnosed, which entails consequences. Therefore, this thesis will address this issue: the impact or consequences that can occur on the social functioning in the workplace of young adults with a late diagnosis of autism. This research will analyze the consequences of late diagnoses on the integration and social development in the workplace of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This research will be conducted to analyze the consequences of late diagnoses on the integration and social development in workplace environments of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This research will be conducted through bibliographies, surveys, and focus groups of patients with these cases. This research will raise awareness among the general public of the dangers of not having an effective diagnosis in childhood. The goal is to record the types of strategies and mechanisms used in daily life by autistic individuals without a definitive diagnosis, compare their experiences with those of individuals who have received late diagnoses, and report on the consequences and effects that these types of diagnoses, or the lack thereof, generate in adults. Through subsequent analysis, he explained the negative and positive impact that receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood can have on individuals, such as adaptation and social development in work environments, and the lack of adaptation of these spaces for social coexistence.
