Physical health disparity conditions in #autistic adults have not been the focus of any research funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the last 4 decades, an analysis by an @AUCDNews #IDDRC, @Vanderbilt_KC researcher TA McDonald finds. https://t.co/0UQxqrHkrS

Researchers from @CARAutism at @ChildrensPhila, an AUCD #IDDRC, found that about 1 in 31 children, or 3.2% of this population, met the diagnostic criteria for #autism. What can Researchers and Providers learn from these findings? Read on: https://t.co/ErngLIPu1a #AutismResearch

Federal surveys fail to identify up to 43% of people with disabilities, @KULifeSpan, an AUCD #IDDRC, has found. This can lead to unequal access to public funding and support. Read more at https://t.co/gQYl9LWjrE
