I think you read too much into the summary (I did the same.) Took a while to grok it but: 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. https://youtu.be/NCAErePScO0 https://youtu.be/NCAErePScO0 (Mental health info around 11:20) 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.
