Georgia Relka

Abstract: As individuals with autism spectrum disorders are entering adolescence and adulthood, their interests focus on social interactions often increases. Nevertheless, persistent social capacity deficits may impede their ability to establish relationships. Autistic individuals who function very well are more aware of the challenges they encounter when interacting with their peers. Most individuals with ASD with intellectual disability can speak at some level, may have the ability to work, however they require daily support. Adults with average or higher intelligence, although they have no obvious symptoms of ASD they find many difficulties in employment and services support.
