To obtain admission for Days 2 and 3, you must submit a paper with your research ideas and proposals, extended abstracts, or research-in-progress related to employment of individuals with autism and have this submission accepted by the organizers. This work may include research focusing on the preparation, recruitment, persistence, and advancement of individuals with autism in the workplace. Submitted research and proposals can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in nature.

All submissions will be reviewed by co-chairs for topical fit related to autism employment.
