Abstract:
When pediatricians, autistic people, and their families carefully consider and plan for the transition from pediatric care to adult care, there are better outcomes for patients. Pediatricians see their patients over time and are uniquely positioned to help prepare for the changes that come with the transition through adolescents to adulthood. Although programs such as Got Transition offer some guidance on how to navigate the transition from pediatric care to adult care, there is less information on how to help those on the autism spectrum and their families transition to adulthood in other ways.
