This study examined programming 'effectiveness' within Ontario secondary schools to determine how well adolescents with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) are being prepared for their transition to adulthood. More specifically, this research questioned whether education, as a site of social learning, enables youth with AS to obtain a positive identity and set of skills to prepare them for life beyond high school. Through the analysis of interviews conducted with two samples (one sample being high school graduates with AS, the other were professionals working in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders), this study serves to report on, and open up a space for, research about AS within the social considerations of educational settings. This study attempted to show where educational programming can nurture adolescents with AS, however, the purpose of this inquiry was based upon the assumption that secondary school education may not be doing enough to prepare these students for the reality of adulthood. Through the analysis of varied programming measures used within Ontario secondary schools (specifically in areas of special education) this study's foundational assumptions were confirmed, and accordingly, several issues have been proposed for further investigation.
