| Summary: | Like many young adults transitioning into the next phase of their life, young adults with autism desire increased independence and autonomy and want to feel confident in their ability to succeed. However, young adults with autism are often less financially independent compared to other youth, including other peers with special health care needs. Financial literacy is often not taught in high schools, with only 21 US states requiring students to take a course that integrates personal finance. This results in many young adults having limited knowledge of money management. Transition services for high school students with ASD often lack a personal finance component as well. This "Autism at-a-Glance" is designed to support practitioners and family members in developing and promoting money management skills for young adults on the autism spectrum. |
