Abstract
Research Question - Are the expectations for adulthood different for young adults with autism? Do they want the same options for adulthood that other young adults desire? What can professionals and programs do to ensure that they have a successful transition into adulthood? Methodology - Interviews were conducted by the researcher with young adults and their parents. A series of questions related to work, independent living, recreation and relationships were presented to the interviewees. A review of records was used to triangulate the data.
