Becoming the Narcissist's Nightmare

Results: About half of the participants have received diagnosis of a co-occurring condition and more than half take psychotropic medication. Their adaptive behaviour and quality of life is poorer than that of the general population. Hardly any differences were found between the original experimental and comparison groups. Conclusions: This study is the first to examine outcome and status of young adults with autism in Iceland. The results showed great individual variation in most variables that were measured, which suggests that although all of the participants received the same diagnosis at an early age, the outcome for them in adulthood is diverse. The difference between those who received behavioural intervention and those who did not seems to have neutralised over the years.
