对自闭症谱系的个体及其家庭来说，向成年的过渡是一个重大挑战。随着诊断的增加和在更年轻的年龄进行适当的治疗，更多的自闭症青少年有独立成人生活的潜力，包括工作和上大学。然而，我们的支持系统在回应那些有着典型梦想和抱负但发展不典型的人的需求方面反应迟缓。这篇文章从多个角度阐述了向成年过渡的挑战，并为个人、家庭和支持专业人士提供了一个框架，以预测挑战并制定积极的解决方案。
Transition to adulthood represents a significant challenge for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. With the increase in diagnosis and appropriate treatment at younger ages, more adolescents on the spectrum have the potential for independent adult lives, including work and college. Yet our support systems have been slow to respond to the needs of individuals with typical dreams and aspirations but atypical development. This article addresses the challenges of the transition to adulthood from multiple perspectives and provides a framework for individuals, families, and supporting professionals to anticipate challenges and develop positive solutions.
