A follow-up survey was conducted on 201 young adults with autism who were 18 or older (mean age, 21.5). All had participated previously in intensive therapeutic camping or had therapeutic involvement at medical consultation agencies to evaluate their outcome. Their social outcome was better than that previously reported in Japan. Although 31.5% had shown marked deterioration during adolescence, 43.2% had shown marked improvement during that period. Possible factors contributing to these results are discussed.
对201名年龄在18岁及以上的自闭症青年成年人(平均年龄21.5岁)进行了一项随访调查。所有人此前都参加过强化治疗营或在医疗咨询机构接受过治疗以评估其结果。他们的社交结果比此前日本报道的要好。尽管31.5%的人在青春期出现了明显恶化,但43.2%的人在此期间出现了明显改善。文中讨论了促成这些结果的可能因素。
