Thanks for the article.

Quote:

The outcome for individuals with HFA is varied but generally much lower than would be expected on the basis of intellectual functioning. Most even cognitively able adult persons with autism live at home or in a supervised facility and occupy lower level jobs or are unable to gain competitive employment.

Quote:

The indication from descriptive reports, clinical experience, and outcome research, however, is that persons with AS may be less impaired than those with HFA, but still endure a severe developmental disability. A minority of individuals achieves some independence in self-care and gainful employment, but most tend to live at home, hold no job, and have few or no friends

AS and HFA are severe disorders, it's good for people to read this. It's not all Einstein and misunderstood geniuses.

I also thought that the article was very clearly written.
