“…Rates of postsecondary educational participation for youth with an ASD are substantially lower than the general population, with previous studies indicating 40% or fewer ever attend college and very few receive a degree. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Lower rates of postsecondary education participation have been found among individuals with more severe impairments, comorbid conditions, or lack of access to services. 8,9 Rates of employment for adults with an ASD are also low across studies, with 25% to 50% of adults with an ASD participating in any type of paid employment.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Previous research has identified low rates of employment and postsecondary education for youth with autism, but generalizability has been limited by small samples. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Using national data, the authors of this study found that youth with autism are at high risk for no postsecondary education or employment, especially in the first 2 years after high school. Findings highlight the need for improved transition planning. abstract OBJECTIVES: We examined the prevalence and correlates of postsecondary education and employment among youth with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).METHODS: Data were from a nationally representative survey of parents, guardians, and young adults with an ASD. Participation in postsecondary employment, college, or vocational education and lack of participation in any of these activities were examined. Rates were compared with those of youth in 3 other eligibility categories: speech/ language impairment, learning disability, and mental retardation. Logistic regression was used to examine correlates of each outcome. RESULTS:For youth with an ASD, 34.7% had attended college and 55.1% had held paid employment during the first 6 years after high school. More than 50% of youth who had left high school in the past 2 years had no participation in employment or education. Youth with an ASD had the lowest rates of participation in employment and the highest rates of no participation compared with youth in other disability categories. Higher income and higher functional ability were associated with higher adjusted odds of participation in postsecondary employment and education. CONCLUSIONS:Youth with an ASD have poor postsecondary employment and education outcomes, especially in the first 2 years after high school. Those from lower-income families and those with greater functional impairments are at heightened risk for poor outcomes. Further research is needed to understand how transition planning before high school exit can facilitate a better connection to productive postsecondary activities.

“…The remaining 65% to 70% still have quite significant deficits and require extensive care. 141,142 A study performed in Japan 143 suggested that the prognosis of individuals with autism could be improving: 54 of 197 (27.4%) autistic adults had attained a reasonable social improvement (they were employed and living independently or almost independently). The reasons for this better result included the fact that these individuals received early and intensive intervention; that this study included high-functioning individuals; and that the good economic situation of Japan favored jog openings.…”

“…It is common knowledge that better and more widely available educational and community services will be able to change the long-term prognosis of autistic patients. 143,144 Autism is a complex disorder that affects social and cognitive development and as such gives us the opportunity to understand and identify the neuronal systems that determine social interaction and communication. The spectrum of clinical presentation and symptoms suggests neurobiological heterogeneity.…”

Objective: To review the current knowledge on neurobiological aspects of autism and pervasive developmental disorders, as well as to provide pediatricians with up to date information on diagnosis and treatment of autism. Sources of data: Review of MEDLINE and Internet.Summary of the findings: Autism is the 3rd developmental disorder, with an incidence of 40 to 130/100,000 individuals. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings, following DSM IV criteria. Neuroimaging, investigation of fetal neurological status, and genetic investigation contribute towards a better understanding of the neurobiology of autism. Conclusion:Pediatricians are the first health professional to come in contact with patients with autism. Thus, they should be able to diagnose and to coordinate the multidisciplinary treatment of these patients.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2004;80(2 Suppl):S83-S94: Autism, child behavior, child development.

“…One of the two reported deaths in the study by Larsen and Mouridsen (1997) was also caused by a traffic accident. Additionally, Kobayashi et al (1992) reported that head injury resulting from self-injurious behaviour contributed to one of four deaths.…”

“…Occasional deaths have been reported in many follow-up studies of people with ASD (Fombonne et al, 1989;Kobayashi et al, 1992;Ballaban-Gil et al, 1996;Larsen and Mouridsen, 1997;Howlin et al, 2004;Billstedt et al, 2005;Eaves and Ho, 2008;Mordre et al, 2012). Systematic studies dealing with mortality and factors associated with death in ASD are rare.…”

The purpose of this review is to provide information on mortality and factors associated with death in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A review of the published systematic mortality studies suggest that the observed number of deaths is nearly three times higher in populations with ASD than in the general population. Research into risk factors associated with survival in people with ASD is limited, and no studies have controlled for changes in these factors over time. The most important risk factors that are associated with reduced life expectancy in people with ASD are moderate to profound intellectual disability, having epilepsy, and female gender. This supports the need for continuous and coordinated care for this high-risk sub population of individuals within the population of people with ASD. It is concluded that measures to reduce inequalities in people with ASD need to focus on reducing mortality from potentially preventable causes of death such as infectious diseases and accidents.
