ASD Youth Employment Challenges Scale was applied to 85 parents of youth with ASD. Results concluded that employment challenges in Saudi Arabia are ASD-based challenges, ASD youth's family challenges, work environment challenges, and social challenges. There were no statistically significant differences between the mean score of the responses of parents of youth with ASD to employment challenges scale due to parent's gender, children's gender, and children's age. There were statistically significant differences between the mean score of the responses of parents of youth with ASD to employment challenges scale due to the variable of receiving financial support, in favor of those who do not receive support.
