T. Shattuck, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor at the Warren

Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis.

Shattuck conducts research aimed at improving systems of care and

services for people with autism and their families. He is especially

interested in two key service transitions: getting a diagnosis in early

childhood and exiting high school in adolescence.

In July, Shattuck was awarded a 5-year grant from the National

Institute of Mental Health to study what happens as adolescents with

autism age into young adulthood. This talk will feature some

preliminary findings about the post-high school experiences of over 400

young adults with autism. Where do they live? What services do they

get? Are they in school or employed? Are there racial or socioeconomic

disparities in outcomes? Answers to these questions are desperately

needed as more and more children with autism are aging towards young

adulthood.
