Overview of a Life Skills Coaching Program for Adults on the Autism Spectrum: Coaches' Perspectives.

There is considerable need to identify effective service provision models to support adults on the autism spectrum as they seek to lead independent lives. This study outlines an individualized life skills coaching program for adults with autism, "LifeMAP", and the experiences and perspectives of the coaches. Responses on a tailored questionnaire provided detailed insight into how the coaches were performing their job, the strategies they utilized, reasons for client success and difficulty, challenges faced by the coaches, and ways they were supported by program staff.

A comparison between follitropin α filled by mass and follitropin a filled by bioassay in the same egg donors.

This study assessed the ovarian stimulation characteristics of recombinant follitropin a filled by mass (rFSH-fbm) versus recombinant follitropin a filled by conventional bioassay (rFSH-bio) in the same egg donor patients. Eleven egg donors, who had two ovarian stimulation cycles for oocyte retrieval (total of 23 cycles), one with rFSH-bio (Gonal-f Multidose®) and the second one with rFSH-fbm (Gonal-f® RFF), were evaluated. The protocol of ovarian stimulation was exactly the same in both cycles, consisting of GnRH suppression (luteal phase) followed by exclusive stimulation with rFSH.
