Outcome in Adult Life for more Able Individuals with Autism or Asperger Syndrome
Patricia Howlin
St George’s Hospital Medical School, London, UK
The paper reviews what is known about outcome in adult life for more able individuals within the autistic spectrum. Because of the problems associated with differential diagnosis, the results of studies involving high-functioning people with autism and Asperger syndrome are combined. The review focuses predominantly on long-term follow-up research and covers outcome in terms of cognitive, linguistic, academic and adaptive functioning; educational and employment history; independence and social relationships; and behavioural and psychiatric problems. The stability of IQ and other measures over time, and variables related to outcome, are also investigated.
Key Words: Asperger syndrome • autism • follow-up studies • outcomes
