ER Visits Double For Adults With ASD
No they have not. You have to be diagnosed and somebody has to tell the ER staff that in to be recorded as Autistic. Adults especially older ones most likely to need the ER are just getting diagnosed. That a source that calls itself "Disability Scoop" would miss something this obvoius is plain neglect.
