Interpersonal differences in the workplace and a lack of competitive employment opportunities contributed to a high unemployment rate for adults with autism. A small group of innovative organizations implemented autism employment programs that placed adults with autism in competitive roles effectively. The success of the programs, launched by autism employment collective (AEC) organizations, was attributed to modifications made by managers that bridged the differences between normative work behavior and patterns characteristic in adults with autism. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, motivation, and organizational (KMO) influences impacting managers' ability to support employees with autism as part of inclusive teams. Interviews with managers and autism program leaders in conjunction with document analysis enabled the identification and validation of the KMO influences affecting managers. The findings showed that managers across AEC organizations were able to recognize the needs of employees with autism and adjusted their management practices accordingly. An authentic leadership style, direct communication, detailed tasks, and consistent workplace structures showed effective in improving work performance and interpersonal outcomes; these practices were used universally across the managers' teams. A disability-inclusive organizational culture also influenced managers' engagement and motivation to support employees with autism. Recommendations on implementing and evaluating a management education and strategic hiring program are provided for organizational leaders seeking to launch and expand autism employment initiatives.
