To explore employment expectations and experiences, qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 young adults with ASD and 28 parents. Transcripts were analyzed using the constant comparative method associated with a grounded theory approach. Three major themes emerged: Employment Aspirations and Potential, Challenges of Job Finding and Keeping, and Differing Parent and Young Adult Work-Related Roles and Views. Issues discussed include the need to foster meaningful pre-employment opportunities, acknowledge the role of families in employment issues, provide ASD-focused workplace support, and effectively coordinate intersecting systems (e.g., schools, agencies, employers).

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-10 (October 2017) . - p.3029-3039 Titre : Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum at College: Successes and Stumbling Blocks Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Connie M. ANDERSON, Auteur ; Catherine BUTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3029-3039 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Adult outcomes  Postsecondary education  Qualitative research  Grounded theory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is limited information on outcomes for young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including achievement at college. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 families reporting a degree-seeking college experience for their young adult with ASD. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Four themes surrounding success and failure at college emerged. Preparation Beyond Academics involved challenges associated with ASD, such as social, executive functioning, and mental health issues, and to what extent these had been addressed prior to leaving high school. Student/College Fit related to whether a student’s capabilities were matched to college location, size, and culture, while Campus Supports and Family Supports concerned assistance provided by colleges and families, respectively. Implications for future practice are discussed.

Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum: The Struggle for Appropriate Services / C. ANDERSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-11 (November 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-11 (November 2018) . - p.3912-3925 Titre : Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum: The Struggle for Appropriate Services Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. ANDERSON, Auteur ; Catherine BUTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3912-3925 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Grounded theory  Qualitative research  Services  Young adult outcomes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In the United States, young adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) lose federally mandated supports upon leaving high school. To arrange adult services, families must prove their young adult's eligibility and find competent service providers. National-level statistics regarding receipt of appropriate adult services are discouraging, but little is known about families' lived experience with regard to services. Therefore, qualitative interviews focused on the search for and satisfaction with adult services were conducted with parents of young adults with ASD, then analyzed using the constant comparative method. Emergent themes included Bureaucracy and Fighting for Access, Staffing Issues, Program Suitability, and "Doing It Yourself." The need to improve service access and delivery is discussed, as are issues facing specific ASD subgroups.
