Author
Jordan Cleland
Summary
This online article briefly summarizes a research study that examined reports on the rate of emergency service (police, paramedic, emergency department) use in a sample of adolescents and adults with autism. Results suggested that individuals without structured daytime activities and with a history of aggressive behavior were more likely to visit emergency departments.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
