AbstractASD in adults is still under-researched, and under-provided by services. I have chosen what I consider to be the key areas for future research, often because these are the areas of most concern to people with ASD and their carers. They include the impact of diagnosis, still the single most sought after intervention, the association of ASD with other disor-ders, and whether or not people can get better from ASD (some can, I conclude).
