abstract: 'The growing number of autistic adults challenges the limited adult
service system. While data on service use and barriers are available,
there is limited information from the individual''s perspective on which
services are most helpful in adulthood and how service use is connected
to community participation outcomes. Forty autistic adults participated
in a study combining global positioning system community participation
measures with survey and interview data on service use, including which
services are most helpful in adulthood, barriers to services, and
service needs. Participation outcomes were analyzed relative to
demographics, number and types of services received in the past 2 years,
and current mental health service use. Participants received an average
of two services in the past 2 years, most frequently mental health and
employment services. Individuals currently seeing a mental health
counselor were more likely to be working full-time and visit more
community locations compared to those who were not seeing a counselor.
Participants reported mental health services as the most helpful service
received in adulthood followed by employment services. While an emphasis
is often placed on employment services in the transition to adulthood,
findings suggest a need for integrated mental health and employment
services for autistic adults.
Lay Abstract
The number of autistic adults is growing, but there are fewer services
to support them in adulthood. Many autistic adults need some support
services to lead successful adult lives. We know a lot about the
services autistic adults use and some of the problems with using these
services, but we do not know which services are most helpful to them and
how the services they use relate to how they interact with their
communities. Forty autistic adults took part in a study about service
use and community participation. They completed surveys, interviews, and
carried a global positioning system tracker. They answered questions
about which services are most helpful in adulthood, things that make it
hard to use services, and what services they needed. Most participants
used two services in the past 2 years, most frequently mental health and
employment services. Adults who were currently seeing a mental health
counselor were more likely to be working full-time and visit more
locations in the community compared to those who were not seeing a
counselor. Mental health services were reported as the most helpful
service they received as adults, followed by employment services. We
often focus on the importance of employment services after high school,
but our findings show a need for both mental health and employment
services for autistic adults.'
