Aging and Autism: A Think Tank

The AUTISM IN LATER LIFE THINK  TANK was the response and result of several organizations to address three prominent issues that impact families, communities, and nations: 1) the increased prevalence of autism, 2) the processes of autism and aging, and 3) the demographic change of aging societies. Although we have a robust understanding of the life course and conditions for most aging individuals, little is known about aging with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Medical Comorbidities in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Many children and adults diagnosed with an ASD have comorbid health problems. Recent large-scale studies, including a detailed assessment conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have confirmed that several medical conditions are significantly over-represented in people with ASD compared to the general population and other developmental conditions prevalence estimates.

Autism Travel Resources

Vancouver Airport Authority has partnered with Canucks Autism Network (CAN) in BC to develop a resource kit and video series to assist individuals and families living with autism. These resources help people prepare for their upcoming trip, covering the check-in process, security screening, boarding and flying.  Although the resource is specific to the Vancouver International Airport, there are many useful tips to make air travel easier.
