Autism Spectrum Disorders, Health, and Wellness: How to Stay Healthy While on the Spectrum

Abstract

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have trouble staying healthy. This study reviews strategies for caregivers, self-advocates, and professionals to help individuals with ASD stay well. It considers common issues that people with ASD face (i.e., unhealthy eating, lack of exercise, not going to annual medical appointments, etc). During the presentation, participants will review and engage in activities based on interventions for education, behavioral supports, and executive functioning supports to help individuals with ASD accomplish tasks and activities.
