At the first visit, there were only 10% of high-functioning adults with pervasive developmental disorder working in public and leading an independent life. With the support, the percentage grew up to 50%. The study of outcome predictors shows that early screening, educational support, medical care, and job assistance are significant contributors. Therefore, medical care, education, and welfare must cooperate in order to support the patients. A combination of a disease-specific program and a standard psychiatric rehabilitation program shows even higher effectiveness.
