AB  - This article presents findings from a multisite randomized clinical trial 
      measuring the impact of employment on independence in 18 to 22 year old youth 
      with significant impact from autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The treatment 
      condition was Project SEARCH plus ASD Supports (PS+ASD) where 73.4% of 
      participants gained competitive integrated employment (CIE) within 1 year of 
      graduation compared to control participants who acquired CIE at 17%. Within group 
      analysis revealed that PS+ASD participants demonstrated improvement in all 
      domains whereas control group participants demonstrated improvement in one domain 
      only. Between groups analysis indicated that participants in PS+ASD demonstrated 
      nominally better rates of improvement than control group participants at 
      graduation and 1-year follow-up. Results provide evidence that employment 
      provides therapeutic benefits to individuals with ASD.
