Presentation Title: How to Identify Autism in your eating disorder patients and what to do next

Presentation Description: According to the CDC 1 in 36 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Approximately 1 in 5 eating disorder patients is on the autism spectrum. Despite its prevalence, this is an important part of the diagnostic picture that is often missed. Clinicians regularly report that they did not receive adequate education and training when it comes to diagnosing and treating autistic individuals. This presentation will help increase your confidence in recognizing signs and symptoms that suggest an autism spectrum diagnosis, what steps to take next when you recognize a possible Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, as well as possible ways to adapt your approach.

Objectives:

4. Identify specific ways you can tailor your approach with your patients on the Autism Spectrum
