Abstract:

The primordial purpose of the contents of this study is to systematically analyze preceding research works concerning the quality of life of adults who are on the autism spectrum and generate a substantial remark as to how social themes and facets affect the status quo. This analysis has attempted to tackle important and notable elements in the foregoing while being guided by the four domains of the quality of life, namely physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains as enumerated by the World Health Organization (2012). As stated by the methods of this study, a semi-systematic approach has been observed throughout this research in order to present relevant facts from various reliable sources with the integration of the analysis of the researchers as they discuss the key elements of this study; as well as the attempt to analyze the domains of this research by content analysis as we ascertain and narrate what particular component of a domain needs more attention from concerned family members, corporations, institutions, and organizations. Garnering an ample amount of relevant literature, the researchers have found probable grounds to ascertain that society as a whole must cooperate in order to improve the quality of life of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
