The purpose of this study is to help us understand how young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are doing in academics, at work, and with peers, after graduating from a school that specializes in educating students with ASD.

WHO: Young adults with ASD who have recently graduated from schools specializing in autism spectrum disorders.

WHAT: One or two study visits (total of about 5 hours) that include:

  • Answering questions about the participant’s mental health history;
  • Neuropsychological testing that includes math problems, computer tasks, and vocabulary;
  • Completing questionnaires about behavior, sleep habits, family, and social life;
  • Optional (not required) genetic testing using participant’s saliva.

Participants and their parents will each receive $25 for completing the study procedures.
