Adults With Asd

Adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders face a multitude of challenges and are experiencing poor life outcomes. This book has summarized the research on practices designed to mitigate these challenges and to improve their life outcomes. There are two recurrent and interconnected themes that have been present throughout the book. The first is that there is immense heterogeneity across individuals with ASD. The second is that the tools for improving outcomes for this population exist, but they may not have been systematically researched with this population. Given the current outcomes for this population, continued research all areas is essential for discovering approaches that will improve the outcomes and quality of life for young adults with ASD. This chapter summarizes the book and provides suggestions for future research.

Measuring Outcomes

This chapter describes commonly used rating scales and instruments to measure outcomes in children and adults with intellectual disability. This is not an easy task, as the assessment of outcomes in intellectual disability poses greater problems than measuring outcomes in those without intellectual disability. The psychometric properties of both self- and observer-rated instruments are compared and contrasted in the areas of challenging behaviour, mental ill-health (depression, personality disorders, autism spectrum disorders and overall mental ill-health), dementia and quality of life. The authors include ‘best buy’ recommendations in each area because there is a need for accepted standards for outcome measurements in this population.
