Autistic Adults and other Stakeholders Engaged Together
Autistic adults have multiple, chronic, and potentially preventable healthcare needs as compared to same-aged adults without ASD, but we know very little about why these differences are occurring and how to improve outcomes.
Our team will prioritize the specific positive health and healthcare outcomes desired by autistic adults, identify potential evidence-based interventions from the perspective of autistic adults, and will involve other stakeholders in identifying interventions to address priority topics.
Come to our Year 2 Meeting
Our Year 2 meeting is scheduled for November 10, 2018 at the Renaissance Hotel in DC. Please check out our save the date for more information.

Ideas to improve healthcare for autistics
Noisy waiting room TVs and lights make waiting a challenge. Solution: Modify the environment to use soft lighting or natural lighting, eliminate blaring TVs, and request patients avoid the use of heavy perfumes.
Calling the office to schedule a visit is long, and speaking with your receptionist is sometimes difficult. Solution: Create a way to schedule an appointment online and send me a reminder to my phone or email.
I need time to understand choices. Provide choices or recommendations in writing to review with me.
Unfamiliar touch does not feel good. Prior to my visit, give me a video and/or a schedule of what the exam will include.
