目的中学后受教育程度是成功过渡到成人、经济自给自足和身心健康的关键。方法通过对英国离校生数据的二次分析，建立英国自闭症学生的中学后教育轨迹。结果表明，自闭症学生进入主流中学接受继续教育(16年后职业培训)的比率较低，高等教育(大学)机构的自闭症学生进入继续教育(16后职业培训)的比率与其他学生相似。他们学习所提供的所有科目。然而，他们更有可能更年轻，学习水平较低，与父母住在家里。结论虽然还没有课程完成数据，但成就数据显示前景正在改善，尽管需要做更多的工作来使这些年轻人充分发挥他们的高等教育潜力。
ObjectivePostsecondary educational attainment is the key for successful transition to adulthood, economic self-sufficiency, and good mental and physical health.MethodSecondary analyses of school leavers' data were carried out to establish postsecondary educational trajectories of students on the autism spectrum in the United Kingdom.ResultsFindings show that students with autism who had attended mainstream secondary schools enter Further Education (post-16 vocational training) at lower rates and Higher Education (University) institutions at a similar rate to other students. They study the full range of subjects on offer. However, they are more likely to be younger, study at a lower academic level, and remain living at home with their parents.ConclusionWhile course completion data were not yet available, attainment data showed that prospects are improving, although more needs to be done to enable these young adults to achieve their full postsecondary educational potential.
