Abstract
Families with adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) continue to play an instrumental part in the lives of their adult relative with autism throughout the lifespan. This chapter reviews the concerns and roles of families of adults with ASD, and the impact of the stress these responsibilities have on family members. Intervention and support services for families of adults with ASD offered through the TEACCH autism program are described as a framework for the development of future service delivery systems for this growing population.
