摘要：
This pilot study explored sensory processing in 10 transition-aged youth substantially impacted by autism and investigated the influence of sensory processing difficulties on family quality of life. These were explored through interviews with family members and through the completion of the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile. Results revealed difficulties in sensory processing, with trends noted in the types of problems seen in these young adults. Sensory processing influenced family quality of life, with families modifying activities to accommodate their young adult's sensory needs. Implications of these results for occupational therapy are discussed, both for practice with youth served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and for practice with young adults following transition.
