@Jess_Paynter @ASfAR_autism I’m looking forward to actually seeing talk and posters and people that are not on Zoom

[Craig Thompson @CraigThompsonOT]

If your teenage child on the spectrum would be interested in telling us about their experience of physical activity

We know the benefits of physical activity
Kids on the spectrum grow up they start doing less
We want to ask parents of teenagers on the spectrum about their experience supporting their child to participate in physical activity

In another study, we are exploring the experience of participating in physical activity from the perspective of adolescents on the spectrum

We know that physical activity is beneficial but as children on the spectrum grow older they start doing less physical activity
We would like to know why and want to ask them about their experience of physical activity

How little vigorous intensity #PhysicalActivity (VPA) is enough? Two bouts/day of only ≤2mins each ➡️35%⤵️ in CVD death risk (!) https://t.co/i1GyqXMwy5 1st device-measured VPA dose-response paper ➡️ MUCH smaller amounts than recommendations in (questionnaire-based) guidelines

Autistic adults experience heart disease 3 times the rate of non-autistic peers
In Perth 🇦🇺 we recruiting autistic and non-autist adults to compare activity levels to see if this causes the increased rate of heart disease

A study in Perth 🇦🇺 is looking for autistic and non-autistic adults to compare activity levels
Autistic adults experience high levels of heart disease
Is this due to different levels of activity?

[Craig Thompson @CraigThompsonOT]

Autistic adults experience heart disease at 3 times the rate of non-autistic peers
This might be due to lower levels of activity
So we want to know what helps and what gets in the way of autistic adults doing physical activity
