As part of a 25-year outcome study of autism spectrum disorder in adulthood, medical histories were collected on 92 participants (N = 69 males) who were first ascertained as children in the mid-1980s, 11 of whom were deceased at the time of follow-up. Questionnaires queried medical symptoms, disorders, hospitalizations, surgeries, and medication use. Median age at follow-up was 36 years (range: 23.5–50.5 years), and intellectual disability co-occurred in 62%. The most common medical conditions were seizures, obesity, insomnia, and constipation. The median number of medical conditions per person was 11. Increased medical comorbidity was associated with female gender (p = 0.01) and obesity (p = 0.03), but not intellectual disability (p = 0.79). Adults in this cohort of autism spectrum disorder first ascertained in the 1980s experience a high number of chronic medical conditions, regardless of intellectual ability. Understanding of these conditions commonly experienced should direct community-based and medical primary care for this population.

Mid‐life social outcomes for a population‐based sample of adults with ASD / Megan FARLEY in Autism Research, 11-1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-1 (January 2018) . - p.142-152 Titre : Mid‐life social outcomes for a population‐based sample of adults with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Megan FARLEY, Auteur ; Kristina J. COTTLE, Auteur ; Deborah A. BILDER, Auteur ; Joseph VISKOCHIL, Auteur ; Hilary H. COON, Auteur ; William MCMAHON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.142-152 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) fall short of social outcomes of non‐ASD peers in mid‐life, as documented by currently published research. The aim of the current study was to extend what is known about social functioning, employment, independent living, and use of social services by examining details of the current life status for a population‐based sample of adults with ASD (mean age = 35.5 years, range = 22.2–51.4). We collected outcome data via direct assessment and informant report for 169 individuals. Three‐fourths of the sample had cognitive abilities in the intellectually disabled range. Social functioning outcomes, as a single measure, mirror those reported previously for other samples, including samples with a high proportion of individuals with normal range intellectual abilities, with 20% achieving the most independent outcomes and 46% requiring high levels of support across most life areas. Participant subgroups who achieved maximal outcomes represented a range of social and intellectual abilities for several outcome metrics. Participants used high levels of public and private supports, yet specific areas of clear, unmet need were also identified.

Lay Summary This paper describes the social functioning outcomes for 169 adults with autism spectrum disorders in mid‐life. Adult participants spanned the full range of functional and cognitive ability levels, with over 75% functioning in the cognitively impaired range. While summary descriptions of outcomes for this sample were similar to those reported for other groups of adults, this report provides detailed information regarding employment outcomes, social relationships, leisure activities, participation in the community, residential situations, public service use, and involvement with law enforcement.

Transition preparation activities and expectations for the transition to adulthood among parents of autistic youth / Anne V. KIRBY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 78 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 78 (October 2020) . - 101640 Titre : Transition preparation activities and expectations for the transition to adulthood among parents of autistic youth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Anne V. KIRBY, Auteur ; Kristina J. COTTLE, Auteur ; Jenna M. HOFFMAN, Auteur ; Marissa L. DIENER, Auteur ; Michael B. HIMLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101640 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Transition  Adulthood  Parent expectations  Family Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parents of autistic youth are highly involved in the transition preparation process, yet the role and influence of parental factors and perceptions is underexplored. In the current study, we aimed to expand understanding of transition preparation and the role and influence of parental factors for autistic youth including perceptions of the likelihood (i.e., parent expectations), importance, and parental influence over postsecondary outcomes as well as parental self-efficacy, parent stress, and parent concerns for the future. Method We surveyed 269 parents of autistic youth (ages 14–21, 78.2 % male) who did not have co-occurring intellectual disability. We used linear regression analyses to examine youth and parent predictors of the frequency of transition preparation activities, parents’ overall sense of preparation, and parental worry about the future. We also qualitatively analyzed open-ended responses about parent concerns. Results The most frequently endorsed transition preparation activities were discussions about the future and chores. Parental factors were associated with greater frequency of transition preparation activities, greater overall sense of preparation for the transition, and less overall worry. Key areas of parent concern were related to youth independence, social life, employment/finances, autism features, safety, happiness, and health. Conclusions The results of this study have implications for education and interventions focused on supporting autistic youth and their parents for the transition to adulthood. There is a need for transition-related interventions that focus on parents and on particular instruction for raising expectations, enhancing parent self-efficacy, and increasing parental sense of control over outcomes.
