研究表明，自闭症成年人抑郁和焦虑并存的比率较高，有些人指出，接受高等教育的自闭症学生的比率特别高。难以应对伴随日常生活的压力源，因为他们浏览大学校园可能会导致发展或恶化的共同发生的条件。自闭症学生报告说，抑郁，焦虑和压力干扰了他们在大学的成功，但他们很难识别和获得他们需要的支持。虽然许多高等教育机构已经建立了为自闭症学生提供学术支持的项目，但很少有项目直接支持心理健康和健康。最近，利益相关者主张在成人自闭症研究中优先考虑心理健康。我们建议，一个具体的重点自闭症学生在中学后教育是必要的，并提供了一个简短的概述，在这方面的相对有限的文献。为了告知心理健康服务和支持的发展，将是可访问的和可接受的范围内的自闭症学生参加中学后教育，研究建议在四个领域：积极和消极影响心理健康的因素;支持的类型;推广;在校园培训和教育。研究人员必须与自闭症患者建立社区伙伴关系，以告知研究设计和具体的研究问题。这将确保自闭症的声音指导支持的发展，这将促进中学后教育及以后的积极心理健康。
Research has documented elevated rates of co-occurring depression and anxiety in autistic adults, with some noting particularly high rates for autistic students enrolled in postsecondary education. Difficulty coping with the stressors that accompany daily life as they navigate college campuses may contribute to development or exacerbation of co-occurring conditions. Autistic students have reported that depression, anxiety and stress interfere with their success in college, but that they have difficulty identifying and accessing the supports that they need. Though many postsecondary institutions have established programs that provide academic supports to autistic students, few programs directly support mental health and wellness. Recently, stakeholders have advocated for mental health to be prioritized in adult autism research. We suggest that a specific focus on autistic students in postsecondary education is warranted and provide a brief overview of the relatively limited literature in this area. To inform development of mental health services and supports that will be both accessible and acceptable to the range of autistic students attending postsecondary education, research is recommended in four areas: factors positively and negatively affecting mental health; types of supports; outreach; on-campus training and education. It will be essential for researchers to establish community partnerships with autistic individuals to inform study design and specific research questions. This will ensure that autistic voices guide development of supports that will foster positive mental health in postsecondary education and beyond.
