Shifting the Autism Narrative: The Impact of Stigma on Health

The Status Quo is Failing Autistic People

Autistic people have an average life expectancy of age 36-54 years. Leading causes of death are premature cardiovascular disease and suicide. Extensive research shows that Autistic people are dissatisfied with their healthcare, experience significant barriers in accessing care, and feel marginalized and stigmatized by the healthcare system.

Reimaging Healthcare & Community

Let’s travel together on the journey of unlearning outdated concepts toward the pursuit of inclusive, comprehensive care for autistic patients of all ages.

Participants will leave with concrete strategies for being more inclusive of Autistic patients (and everyone else who learns, thinks, or communicates differently from one’s self).
