Opportunities for adults to access support following a clinical diagnosis of autism are limited. This study investigated perspectives of autistic adults, relatives and clinicians regarding characteristics of optimal adult autism post-diagnosis support and services. In Stage 1, key stakeholders were surveyed about recent experiences of UK adult…

Many universities offer autism support programs (ASPs) to support college students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Initial studies support the promise of ASPs, but little research has explored which students do and do not enroll, or whether enrollees engage in program-sponsored mentoring. We explored these questions using an online survey and…
