Autistic Aduts Report Worse Health Care

Adults with autism report significantly worse health care experiences than adults without autism, according to a study published in the November issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
Christina Nicolaidis, MD, MPH, of the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and colleagues used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to adapt a survey for adults with autism. The online cross-sectional survey was completed by 209 adults with autism whose health care experiences were compared with those of 228 adults without autism.
