This talk will cover the specific challenges faced by females on the autism spectrum, across the lifespan. Particular emphasis will include recent research conducted with the SPARK cohort, where intrinsic and extrinsic factors are considered, as well as the impact of co-occurring conditions on the autistic female.

There are few specialists that serve adults with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDD), and most adults with NDD receive care from providers without specialty training in NDD. Care for this population is highly variable, and patient and caregiver priorities in this age group are not well known. We aimed to explore individual and caregiver values around adult neurodevelopmental care.
In this qualitative study, we conducted 22 semi-structured virtual interviews from September 2021 to February 2022 with randomly selected adults with NDD and/or their caregivers. The need for adult neurodevelopmental care is growing as more individuals with NDD are living into adulthood. Better understanding of patient and caregiver values can help shape this emerging field to meet the needs of this unique, often overlooked and underserved, population.
