Transition to Adulthood for Women on the Spectrum: A Brief Narrative Review

Abstract

Research in the field of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) focuses mainly on school-aged children and male participants. This has left substantial gaps in our understanding of the life course of autistic individuals, particularly autistic females, once they reach adulthood. The objective of this concise narrative review is to discuss the current literature on autistic women with a focus on transitioning to adulthood, specifically in the areas of quality of life, post-secondary education and employment. Given that the evidence so far suggests widely inconsistent findings, we conclude that future research is needed to more carefully elucidate the unique needs of women on the spectrum during the process of transitioning to adulthood, and to identify evidence-based practices that could better support this population.

Disclaimer

The authors of this review have chosen to utilize both identity-first language (i.e., “autistic individual”) and person-first language (i.e., “individual with autism”) in addressing the individuals included in this research as we acknowledge that there is no universally accepted single way to refer to individuals on the autism spectrum. It is important to note, however, that the language and terminology used is not preferred by all autistic individuals and that individuals’ personal preferences should be actively considered.
