本研究旨在探討中部地區自閉症青年自我決策能力及相關因素之現況。以質性研究深度訪談收集中部地區5位自閉症青年，分析其自我決策能力的發展情況、不同背景因素在自我決策能力上的表現情形，以作為家長及相關人員規劃及發展自閉症青年自我決策能力之參考，並就自我決策之理念提出相關的改善建議。研究結果及建議如下：一、受訪自閉症青年之家長對自我決策的重要性深表認同，但他們普遍不了解其內涵，所以如何妥善提供相關資訊及宣導教育相形重要。2.受訪之自閉症青年的認知及家長教養態度會影響自我決策特質表現程度，如何從親職教育等多方面提供家長學習教養管道不容忽視。3.自我決策能力並未因年齡較長有較高的表現，而輕度障礙自閉症青年之自我決策能力表現程度優於重度自閉症者，安置於普通班之自閉症青年，其自我決策能力表現程度高於安置於特殊班之自閉症青年，而生長於大家庭結構及低社經地位之自閉症青年，其自我決策能力表現程度較高。因此，如何提升家庭互動關係及安排學習環境，以培養自閉症青年的自我覺察、自我選擇等決策技能，在自閉症者各教育階段中更應思考如何適切規劃自我決策相關課程。
