Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Navigating healthcare systems during the transition to adulthood is challenging for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Key factors for success include information sharing, community programs, and coordinated healthcare support.
Area Of Science
- Healthcare Navigation
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Transition to Adulthood
Background
- The transition to adulthood poses unique challenges for individuals with ASD and their families, especially in healthcare system navigation.
- Limited information exists on effectively navigating healthcare systems during this critical life stage.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore stakeholder experiences in navigating healthcare systems for individuals with ASD.
- To identify crucial components for successful healthcare navigation during the transition to adulthood.
Main Methods
- Conducted in-depth interviews with 20 participants (6 youth with ASD, 10 parents, 4 service providers).
- Employed thematic analysis to interpret interview data.
Main Results
- Identified three essential themes for healthcare navigation: information sharing, community-based programs, and healthcare coordination.
- Information sharing requires accessible and comprehensive resource exchange.
- Community programs and coordinated support are vital for facilitating access and transition.
Conclusions
- Findings identify key factors influencing healthcare system navigation for youth with ASD.
- Highlights the importance of navigational services and support interventions for successful transitions.
- Addresses a gap in literature regarding healthcare navigation for individuals with ASD.

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.
The Basis of Attachment Theory in Development
Building on the work of Harlow and others, John Bowlby developed the concept of attachment theory. He defined attachment as the affectional bond or tie that an infant forms with the mother (Bowlby,...
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...
Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.
Figure 1: Periodic Table. The transition metals are located in groups 3–11 of the periodic table. The inner transition metals are in the two...
