A comment on Predictors of mental health in employed adults with autism spectrum disorder. Parent comment
People with ASD have much, (much, much,) higher incidence rates of mental health problems usually stemming from loss/lack of employment viability.
What this study concludes is that the supportive employment program buffers against those health issues that effect so many with ASD.
Couple years old but I recall this talk being vaguely relevant.

So yes, kind of obvious, and seemingly useless information alas we have the statistics, we have the problem, and now we know of one such solution.
Non ASD would likely benefit from the employment program as well but to the same extent? Unlikely - but only because there is less room to improve.
