Abstract:
Autism: a lifelong condition. Outcome in adults with autism is generally considered as poor. Autistic symptoms and behaviors improve throughout life whereas somatic or psychiatric conditions, largely ignored or misdiagnosed because of atypical sensory profile or langage deficit, result in decreased quality of life and in discomfort. Poor outcomes are mainly observed but recovery or optimal outcomes have been described in the last decade studies. Despite autism heterogeneity, it is essential to recognize physical comorbidities and mental health conditions to treat them and to plan health education and healthcare for this specific population. It is particularly important to provide and develop specific educational, health, social and cognitive remediation supports not only for autistic children but also during transition to adulthood.
