Much autism research is conducted with the needs of children in mind. However, autistic children eventually become autistic adults. Additionally, an increased awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has led to new adult diagnoses. Our objective is to compare health and well-being outcomes among adults with ASD who were diagnosed as children (under 18 years old) compared to adults with ASD who were diagnosed as adults (18+ years old).

Presenter(s)
Tara Lutz, PhD, MPH, CHES, , A. J. Pappanikou Center for Developmental Disabilities, UCEDD/LEND^,
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) communicate with their child about sex less frequently and about fewer topics compared to parents of typically-developing children. Studies indicate that children with ASD are interested in and engage in sexual behaviors at similar rates as their typically-developing peers, but are less likely to receive sex education. Parents of children in grades 6-12 were recruited to complete an anonymous online survey.
