CHICAGO -- One in 3 young adults with autism have no paid job experience, college or technical school nearly seven years after high school graduation, a study finds. That's a poorer showing than those
with other disabilities including those who are mentally disabled, the
researchers said.
With roughly half a million autistic kids reaching adulthood in the
next decade, experts say it's an issue policymakers urgently need to
address.
The study was done well before unemployment peaked from the
recession. The situation today is tough even for young adults who don't
have such limitations.
