Characteristics of adults with autism spectrum disorder who use residential services and supports through adult developmental disability services in the United States / Amy S. HEWITT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 34 (February 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 34 (February 2017) . - p.1-9 Titre : Characteristics of adults with autism spectrum disorder who use residential services and supports through adult developmental disability services in the United States Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy S. HEWITT, Auteur ; Roger J. STANCLIFFE, Auteur ; Jennifer HALL-LANDE, Auteur ; Derek NORD, Auteur ; Sandra L. PETTINGELL, Auteur ; Kristin HAMRE, Auteur ; Libby HALLAS-MUCHOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disabilities  ID  Autism  Residential services  ASD  Community living  National Core Indicators Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Many children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) need services and support across their lifespans. Currently many residential and community living supports are delivered through state intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) service systems. Method A random sample of 11,947 individual users of adult IDD services from 25 states that included 1,459 individuals with an autism diagnosis was analyzed for this study looking at demographic characteristics and living arrangements. Comparisons were made between adults with and without ASD who receive services through the IDD service system. Results Overall, individuals with an ASD diagnosis were younger on average, had a higher percentage of males, and had higher percentages of the No Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and Severe ID categories compared to individuals without an ASD diagnosis. There was a significant association between the type of living arrangement and ASD status with a higher percentage of participants with ASD living in a family member’s home, but a lower percentage of people with ASD living in agency apartments, in their own home or an “other” living arrangement. However, with age, gender, and level of ID and challenging behavior taken into account, people with ASD had 29% higher odds of living in a family member’s home but 42% lower odds of living in their own home when compared to people with other developmental disabilities who received residential services through state IDD service systems. Conclusions There are key differences in access and utilization of residential services between people with ASD and people without ASD. While state developmental disabilities systems are serving individuals with ASD there are potential influences of state policies regarding ASD eligibility for various residential services. Implications for future research are discussed.

Employment in the community for people with and without autism: A comparative analysis / Derek K. NORD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 24 (April 2016)

Analyzing the 2008–09 National Core Indicators Adult Consumer Survey, this study investigates community employment of working age (18–65) individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who receive services in the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) service systems in 19 states. The findings show that 18.2% of adult service users of IDD services had a community job. People with ASD and people with ID had significantly lower odds of being employed in the community compared to those without ASD, after controlling for age, health, mobility, gender, level of ID, and challenging behavior. Results are presented in the context of current employment research and the implications of these findings are discussed.
