Everything is Connected to Everything: Improving the Healthcare of Autistic and ADHD Adults

Autistic & ADHD adults often have multiple intertwined health conditions, yet the healthcare system can get in the way of clinicians addressing multiple medical problems at a time. By treating these intertwined medical conditions as separate, this may result in a person not getting better. Thinking of these medical conditions as a group (or cluster/constellation) may result in more improvements.

This OAR-funded resource was created by All Brains Belong VT and provides guidance for medical professionals and autistic individuals in addressing multiple health conditions and improving the health of autistic patients.

Funding for this resource was provided by OAR and the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P) through the Community Grant Competition.
