Priority Setting to Improve Health Outcomes: Autistic Adults and Other Stakeholders Engage Together

Background: Autistic adults have multiple, chronic, and potentially preventable healthcare needs as compared to same-aged adults without ASD, but we know very little about why these differences are occurring and how to improve outcomes. Within the national literature which discusses individuals with autism, few have used client or patient engagement to prioritize next research steps and desired outcomes. This particular patient community has identified the need for more engagement in healthcare.
