| Popis: | Although previous research has shown that the transition to adulthood may be challenging, there exists a lack of research regarding perspectives of stakeholders on the transition of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study aimed to investigate stakeholders' experiences regarding healthcare services for youth with ASD during their transition. We involved 20 stakeholders, including 17 parents of youth with ASD as well as 3 services providers. The study yielded three major themes including: (a) accessibility and quality of care; (b) tensions and conflicts; and (c) navigation and integrated care. The findings can be used to direct change within the healthcare services towards better practices for youth with ASD and increasing the likelihood of positive health outcomes. |
