关于患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻人的结果的信息有限，包括大学成绩。定性访谈进行了18个家庭报告了他们的年轻成人与ASD的学位寻求大学的经验。访谈记录进行了分析，使用扎根理论的方法。围绕着大学的成功和失败出现了四个主题。学术之外的准备涉及与ASD相关的挑战，如社会，执行功能和心理健康问题，以及在离开高中之前这些问题在多大程度上得到了解决。学生/大学匹配关系到学生的能力是否与大学的位置，规模和文化相匹配，而校园支持和家庭支持分别涉及大学和家庭提供的帮助。对未来实践的影响进行了讨论。
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.
