Individuals with Autism and their caregivers face many changes during the teen years. Social relationships, puberty, body awareness, and increased independence are just a few of the issues to address. Caregivers will also face decisions during transition planning that will lay the programmatic groundwork for a teen with autism and set expectations for education and employment.
