Résumé : |
The majority of autistic adolescents transitioning to adulthood have average (or higher) intellectual skills. However, outcome research suggests that even those who earn general education high school diplomas struggle with a successful transition from school to postsecondary and employment settings. This chapter reviews the autism-specific challenges that may lead to poor postsecondary and employment outcomes including executive functioning, emotion regulation, social skills, adaptive behavior, and self-determination. While there are few randomized control trials providing an evidence base for transition interventions, there are a growing number of pilot programs targeting these skills. This chapter reviews the current literature and provides a case study outlining the challenges faced by autistic transition-aged youth. Additionally, future recommendations are provided for creating comprehensive transition programs, capitalizing on recent United States federal government mandates for transition-aged services. |
