Editorial: Addressing the "Cliff" for Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Robert L Hendren. J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 2021 Aug.

Abstract

Parents of young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) desperately search for a cure for their child's disorder. Depending on their child's severity or lack of progress, parents shift from looking for a cure to finding arrangements where their child can live a fulfilling life as an adult when they are less involved and less able to help. Sadly, they too often find that the resources they have fought for their children to receive disappear when their youngsters leave school.
