Abstract	This study focuses on the stories shared by three young adults under the age of 30who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and an intellectual disability(ID). These young adults reflected on their transition from school to adult service options, including their experience with careers, relationships, and community supports. This study also explored the perspectives of the broader support networks that assisted the transitioning young adults. These support networks helped to define and provide a factual recollection of the events participants experienced. This ethnographic case study investigated the personal perspectives of young adults who transitioned from special education services to the adult service delivery options in their respective communities. The research describes the support provided and care designed by the student and support network. Data accrued from observations, conversations, interviews, field notes, and document reviews. The abilities of young adults differ, and their need for support ranges from few needs to very high needs. During the transition process, influencing factors, environment, and interpersonal supports produce activities, routines, and connections that assist young adults along their journey.
