Twice As Likely To Die?!? Why? What Can We Do?
Description
I was appalled and dismayed when I read a recent study last week. It found that Autistic people 0 to 24 are 2x more likely to die that those without autism. The risk for mortality was even higher among autistic girls/women.
A total of 857,994 individuals were included for analysis, 11,919 (1.4%) of whom were diagnosed with ASD. The ASD cohort had a higher proportion of boys/men (78.4%) relative to the control cohort (50.9%).
Why is this tragedy happening? How do we beat the odds?
In this week's podcast, I summarize the situation and share 11 recommendations we can try.
