Teens and adults with autism on average continue to improve in many areas as they get older, according to a longitudinal study of more than 400 adolescents and adults with autism published in the September Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. "On average, people are getting better," says lead author Paul T. Shattuck, a Washington University assistant professor of social work. "For all major symptoms, the percentage of people who improved was always greater than the percentage who worsened."
