Zusammenfassung:Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in older adults have been neglected for a long time. As far as we know only five papers have been published.

Four papers were case studies of men diagnosed with an ASD (James et al., 2006; Naidu et al., 2006; van Alphen and Heijnen-Kohl, 2009; van Niekerk et al., 2011), and the fifth one was an opinion paper concerning the diagnosis of ASD in the elderly and the difficulties arising in this (Heijnen-Kohl and van Alphen, 2009).
