Brief Summary:
Background The number of adults with autism is expected to rise significantly in the near future due to two main reasons First a dramatic increase in the estimates of the prevalence of autism starting in the mid 1980s Second the clinical diagnosis of autism was first introduced during the 1950s and those diagnosed with autism back then are only now entering middle age Few studies however have focused on the outcomes of adult autistic individuals and very little is known about the course of autism in adulthood and on the familial burden resulting from caring for an autistic adult We therefore propose to study adult outcomes in autism and to examine the influence of raising an autistic individual on the parents
Working hypothesis and aims The primary objectives of the study are
1 Determine clinical status and functioning of autistic adults
2 Study the influence of raising and caring for an individual with autism on the well-being of the parents
