This chapter analyzes the self-identity, with reference to social inclusion, of the young people in care in their transition to adulthood and the possibility of independent living. It focuses on how the various aspects of social inclusion during childhood and young adult years might affect their identity. In addition to the usual dynamic identity formation of teenagers, young people leaving care also negotiate the shedding of an identity as someone in the care of the state and the acquiring of an identity as an independent young adult. These processes have important policy implications because they imply that transition to independence of children in state care requires a care approach and environment that are supportive to positive identity formation during childhood and adolescence.

A previously described phenotypically female 46,XY-individual with 1 7,20-desmolase deficiency was followed from adolescence to adulthood. While at age 16.9 years her 1 7α-hydroxylating capacity was normal and steroids not hydroxylated in position 17 low, decreasing 1 7α-hydroxylated and increasing unhydroxylated steroids were observed thereafter up to the age of 25.2 years. Simultaneously with the steroid changes, previously normal blood pressure (110/80 mmHg) increased (180/130 mmHg). Since 17α-hydroxylation and 17,20-desmolase activity are regulated by one cytochrome P450-17α, it is concluded that, in this same patient, 1 7α-hydroxylase activity was normal during childhood and adolescence, but decreased in the young adult. 1 7,20-desmolase activity, by contrast, was completely absent already in the fetus, causing absence of masculinization. The factors modulating this difference in cytochrome P450-17α activity with age are as yet unknown.

An unusual structure in the cochlea is the spiral limbus; this periosteal tissue consists of stellate fibroblasts and collagenous fibers embedded in a translucent ground substance. The collagenous fibers are arranged in vertical columns (the auditory teeth of Haschke). Between the auditory teeth are interdental furrows in which the interdental cells are situated. These epithelial cells supposedly secrete the tectorial membrane.The fine structure of interdental cells in the rat was reported by Iurato (1962). Since the mouse appears to be different, a description of the fine structure of mouse interdental cells' is presented. Young adult C57BL/6J mice were perfused intervascularly with 1% paraformaldehyde/ 1.25% glutaraldehyde in .1M phosphate buffer (pH7.2-7.4). Intact cochlea were decalcified in .1M EDTA by the method of Baird (1967), postosmicated, dehydrated, and embedded in Araldite. Thin sections stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate were examined in a Phillips EM-200 electron microscope.

Adults on the autism spectrum, despite having received intervention throughout their childhood and adolescence, continue to experience challenges with everyday social interactions, forming and maintaining relationships, and social abilities needed in work settings. This article presents a case example of a 22-year-old adult with Asperger syndrome, and highlights the issues in providing intervention for highly able young adults on the autism spectrum. A unique feature of this report is the inclusion of the client's own insights into his experiences, perspectives, and challenges with the intervention. The approaches used to address his social communication and organizational needs are outlined, and clinical implications discussed.
