  • Mental Health Services
  • Disability Employment

Background:

  • Peer support is underutilized for autistic individuals, despite its success in mental health and veteran services.
  • Autistic individuals face significant service gaps and employment challenges.
  • Understanding peer support's utility in autism can inform research, policy, and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the characteristics of participants in an autistic-delivered peer support program.
  • To report on the utilization and satisfaction levels within this program.
  • To assess the potential of autistic-delivered peer support for addressing unmet needs.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study of participants in an autistic-delivered peer support program.
  • Data collection on participant characteristics, program use, and satisfaction.
  • Analysis of co-occurring mental health diagnoses and reported unmet needs.

Main Results:

  • Half of the autistic participants had co-occurring mental health diagnoses.
  • Participants reported numerous unmet needs.
  • Overall participant satisfaction with the peer support program was high at 90%.

Conclusions:

  • Autistic-delivered peer support is a viable and effective service modality.
  • The program demonstrates potential for filling service gaps and creating employment opportunities.
  • Further research and development in this area are warranted.
