I am an occupational therapist who works with autistic teens and young adults. I am curious- what is the biggest challenge autistic teens and young adults face as they transition to adulthood? Is it the fear of being lonely? Employment? Succeeding in college? Being accepted by others and making friends?
Employment is my biggest worry. How am I going to keep a job so I can pay for stuff and be independent when work is so hard and often unsuitable for my needs?
Next comes loneliness.
