People with autism spectrum disorder may have unique development challenges, but they face a range of health issues like all people, and many of these may be compounded by an ASD. This book provides the tools and information so the health care professional can think differently about caring for this patient and see through his or her eyes. The presentations of 28 contributors share the importance of early, continuous, coordinated, and individualized care that is integrated into the existing health care system. Examples of models and policies that have improved the access, experience, and outcomes for patients with ASD are shared. In addition, the importance of continuous quality improvement through data collection and monitoring of outcomes is emphasized. This information is essential for addressing the capacity crisis now in providing routine, specialized, and emergency care for individuals with ASD. Some of the major topics discussed include: the epidemiology of autism spectrum disorder; facilitating the role of parents in management and advocacy; the impact of the sensory environment on care; medications for the treatment of psychiatric comorbities; frameworks to guide practice and research with patients; building a home for acute care needs; assisting parents in adapting and making decisions regarding treatment options; integrating genetic testing into health care; educating nurses with faculty and curricular issues; emergency medicine and improving service; physical therapy to promote health, function, and community participation; using big data to direct quality improvement; and monitoring patient outcomes in research and policy outcomes. This significant volume brings together a wealth of expertise with information and strategies across the lifespan for individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
