BACKGROUND
Few studies have explored community participation for autistic adults, with or without intellectual disability. This study aims to investigate how autistic adults participate in the community, and the childhood and adulthood factors that predict community participation in adulthood.
METHOD
Eighty-four autistic adults (mean age 34 years; 67% with co-occurring intellectual disability) initially recruited as children and adolescents, participated in the current study. Community participation frequency and variety were measured in adulthood. Childhood and adulthood predictors of community participation were investigated.
RESULTS
Participants engaged in the community an average of 18.2 times (range 0-49) over the previous 30-day period, in an average of 6.3 different activities (range 0-13). Childhood and adulthood factors (autism symptoms, intellectual disability, living arrangements) were associated with community participation.
CONCLUSION
Areas for additional support and resources were identified.
背景
很少有研究探讨有或无智力障碍的成年自闭症患者的社区参与情况。本研究旨在调查成年自闭症患者如何参与社区活动，以及预测成年后社区参与度的童年和成年因素。
方法
最初招募的84名成年自闭症患者（平均年龄34岁；67%伴有智力障碍）在儿童和青少年时期参与了本研究。在成年期测量社区参与频率和多样性。调查了社区参与的童年和成年预测因素。
结果
参与者在过去30天内平均参与社区活动18.2次（范围0-49次），平均参与6.3项不同活动（范围0-13项）。童年和成年因素（自闭症症状、智力障碍、生活安排）与社区参与有关。
结论
确定了需要额外支持和资源的领域。
