The goal of this research was to examine reported service needs among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) of all ages. Data were generated from a state survey that queried the needs of children, adolescents and adults with ASD. Logistic regression was used to compare service use and need among these age groups. Adults with ASD were less likely to be receiving multiple types of services, and more likely to have a need for services. These findings demonstrate that adults with ASD have more and different needs for services. These results can inform policy and program planning to put in place the services adults with ASD need.
本研究的目标是调查各年龄段自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者报告的服务需求。数据来自一项州级调查，该调查询问了患有ASD的儿童、青少年和成人的需求。使用逻辑回归来比较这些年龄组之间的服务使用情况和需求。患有ASD的成年人接受多种类型服务的可能性较小，而有服务需求的可能性较大。这些发现表明，患有ASD的成年人对服务有更多且不同的需求。这些结果可为政策和项目规划提供参考，以提供患有ASD的成年人所需的服务。
