为了了解患有ASD的年轻人的生活，通过邮件联系了1974-1984年出生的儿童的家庭，这些儿童被诊断为学龄前儿童并被跟踪到青春期。在76名合格人员中，48名（63%）参加了电话采访。根据工作、友谊和独立性分配全球结果分数。在平均年龄24岁时，一半的患者结局良好至一般，46%的患者结局较差。共病、肥胖和药物使用是常见的。一些家庭指出，特别是在社会领域的需要没有得到满足。多元线性回归表明，智商和汽车评分在11岁的组合预测的结果。早期的研究报告了更多患有ASD的成年人，他们的结果很差，但是现在的年轻人有更多的机会，因此预计会有更好的结果。
To learn about the lives of young adults with ASD, families with children born 1974-1984, diagnosed as preschoolers and followed into adolescence were contacted by mail. Of 76 eligible, 48 (63%) participated in a telephone interview. Global outcome scores were assigned based on work, friendships and independence. At mean age 24, half had good to fair outcome and 46% poor. Co-morbid conditions, obesity and medication use were common. Families noted unmet needs particularly in social areas. Multilinear regression indicated a combination of IQ and CARS score at age 11 predicted outcome. Earlier studies reported more adults with ASD who had poor to very poor outcomes, however current young people had more opportunities, and thus better results were expected.
