Labor Rights and People on the Autism Spectrum
Our firm, with 25 years of experience dedicated exclusively to Labor Law, has consolidated a highly specialized legal practice in the defense of workers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Throughout these decades, we have closely followed the legislative and social evolution surrounding autism in Brazil, which has allowed us to develop a technical, sensitive approach deeply aligned with the real needs of these professionals.
The basis of our actions rests on fundamental legal frameworks, such as Law 12,764/2012 (Berenice Piana Law)which recognizes autistic individuals as persons with disabilities for all legal purposes, guaranteeing full protection and access to fundamental rights. We also act rigorously in light of Brazilian Inclusion Law (Law 13.146/2015), which establishes accessibility standards, protection against discrimination, and guarantees adequate working conditions. In addition, we monitor the Recent updates on social rights and protection criteria, which reinforce the understanding of autism as a long-term impairment and broaden the scope of legal guarantees.
Our experience encompasses cases involving discrimination, lack of reasonable accommodations, harassment, disregard for sensory difficulties, inadequate assessments, communication barriers, and other situations that compromise the full exercise of professional activity by autistic individuals. We act firmly and strategically to ensure that each worker has their rights preserved, that their specific needs are recognized, and that their dignity is fully respected.
We understand that workers on the autism spectrum may face unique challenges in the workplace, and therefore our approach is guided by attentive listening, individualized analysis, and the development of legal solutions that truly address the specific needs of each case. Our commitment is to guarantee protection, legal security, and full access to labor rights as provided by law.
