Recently, I have been researching different programs available for teens and adults diagnosed with ASD. As I was continuing my search, I came across a news article from CBS news in New Jersey. What caught my eye was the title of the article, "One in three adults with autism lack professional experience, worrying professionals." The study goes on to talk about how one in three people diagnosed with Autism has had no paid job experience, college or technical schooling nearly seven years after high school graduation. With Autism being diagnosed at a higher rate, we need to keep in mind all of these young adults and adults entering into the working force. I have blogged before about different programs available in different states for teens and adults after they graduate. The programs provide these young adults with the skills needed to find jobs and provide them with basic living skills. Although there are quite a few of these programs, we need more, especially with the growing population of children diagnosed with ASD.
