This chapter deals with the topic of Quality of Life (QOL) in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The chapter begins with a short history of the QOL, followed by attempts to define it and conceptualize it through its various domains and indicators, both general and ASD—specific. Next, the chapter describes different methods used in the literature for the measurement of QOL. Then, the chapter provides a description of main constructs related to QOL including choice/self-determination, self-advocacy, employment, independent living, and support service. Consequently, the chapter concludes with ideas on how to further enhance QOL in people with ASD.
