Introduction: Young Adults (YAs) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have high unemployment rates even in the developed countries. In Malaysia, the rate is assumed to be even higher. Presently, there is no statistical data on the employment rates of individuals with ASD in Malaysia due to the absence of ASD subcategories in the National Registry of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Nevertheless, parents of this sub-category have been facing financial struggles and emotional challenges due to their children`s employability issues. However, to date, their concerns have not been made known and unconvincing. This paper aimed to gain a better understanding of the employment issues that YAs with ASD face from their parents’ perspectives and experiences. Methods: A qualitative phenomeno- logical design was employed via semi-structured interview where 8 respondents were recruited through purposive sampling. Each interview lasted between 30 minutes to an hour where their opinions were digitally recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Results: TData were analyzed using the Thematic Analysis and three themes emerged from the findings; i) ASD Symptomatology ii) Contextual Challenges iii) Parenting Behaviour. Conclusion: Therefore, this study suggests that employment requirements should take the YAs with ASD abilities, life and employable skills, parents’ expectations, employers’ awareness and acceptance, and the socioecological into account as this can be a significance of an inclusive policy and practice. Further research is needed to identify strategies for improving em- ployment outcomes as these YAs transition into adulthood.
