YU, Auteur ; Paul SHATTUCK, Auteur ; Mary MCCRACKEN, Auteur ; Jose BLACKORBY, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p.1539-1546 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Postsecondary enrollment  College major  Young adult  Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little research has examined the popular belief that individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely than the general population to gravitate toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This study analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, a nationally representative sample of students with an ASD in special education. Findings suggest that students with an ASD had the highest STEM participation rates although their college enrollment rate was the third lowest among 11 disability categories and students in the general population. Disproportionate postsecondary enrollment and STEM participation by gender, family income, and mental functioning skills were found for young adults with an ASD. Educational policy implications are discussed.
