Objective: Research has shown that comparatively few adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS) participate in the competitive work force. The purpose of this study was to gain in-depth knowledge about contextual factors, which contribute to successful labor market participation in some adults with AS. Participants: This study was conducted by indepth-interviewing six adults with AS working in the competitive job market in Switzerland. Methods: A developmental and hermeneutic narrative approach was used for data collection and analysis. Two in-depth narrative interviews were conducted with each participant. A narrative analysis according to the theories of Paul Ricoeur was performed. Results: Results showed that participants received pre-vocational requisites during their childhood through parents and friends that provided a feeling of security in social contexts. For participants, a supportive school setting resulted in academic achievements. The narratives reveal participants' capacities for understanding and adapting to social norms. Participants' understanding of their own needs was essential to the successful labor market participation. However, disclosure is rare and social stigma is still present. Conclusions: This study showed that successful labor participation of adults with AS can be enhanced through adequate social support already in the early stages of an individual's lifetime.
Diskursanalyse
(2012)
Das Elterngeld wurde als familienpolitische Innovation eingeführt, die Müttern wie Vätern höchstmögliche Spielräume bei der Entscheidung für ein Kind bieten sollte. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob diese Spielräume auch empirisch von Relevanz sind. Die Daten belegen, dass das Elterngeld zwar für Väter die Möglichkeit der Existenzsicherung bietet. Dies gilt jedoch nur, wenn sie erwerbstätig sind. Der überwiegende Anteil der Mütter bleibt mit dem Elterngeld unterhalb der Armutsgrenze. Es lässt sich zudem kein massiver Geburtenanstieg durch das Elterngeld feststellen, womit die zentralen familienpolitischen Anliegen nicht erfüllt werden. Jüngste Reformen des Elterngeldes führen zu Verschlechterungen für arme und erwerbslose junge Eltern. Der Ausblick zeigt, dass Auswege aus dem Dilemma möglich sind, wenn entscheidende Schritte zur Reform des Elterngeldes eingeleitet werden.
