Description
The population of adults with autism spectrum disorders is growing in our state and the nation, yet little is known about this population or the health care services they are receiving. This presentation will look at the results of a survey of primary care physicians in one state that assessed physician involvement in the care of adults with ASDs and their need for training and support to serve this population.Back to Session: Welcome Reception and Posters: Poster Hall
