Abstract

This research has the objective of developing a prototype for a web system aimed at sup-porting adult individuals with autism in the job market, from a discussion of autism’s charac-teristics, the process of insertion of people diagnosed with autism in the job market and the development of data collection instruments to inform the definition of the system’s function requirements. The theoretical framework encompasses discussions about autism in adult individuals and their needs in relation job market insertion. Methdological procedures con-sisted in the application of a survey as well as interviews with autistic individuals, profes-sionals from the field of Psy-chology and company representatives to obtain data which in-formed the requirements. As a result, the system named Labour Alternative for Autism Spec-trum Disorder (ALTEA). Data obtained, along with discussions carried out and system itself, are expected to help individuals obtain job opportunities in the private sector.
