Abstract EN
The number of youth on the autism spectrum approaching young adulthood and attending college is growing.
Very little is known about the subjective experience of these college students.
Disability identification and self-efficacy are two subjective factors that are critical for the developmental and logistical tasks associated with emerging adulthood.
This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 to examine the prevalence and correlates of disability identification and self-efficacy among college students on the autism spectrum.
Results indicate nearly one-third of these students do not report seeing themselves as disabled or having a special need.
Black race was associated with lower likelihood of both disability identification and self-efficacy.
