AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit

We wanted to highlight a fantastic resource, the AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit.  This website has information and worksheets for adults on the autism spectrum, supporters, and healthcare providers. It focuses on primary healthcare or healthcare with a regular doctor.

The resources on this site are meant to improve the healthcare of autistic adults. They were developed by the Academic-Autistic Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE) through a series of research studies funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. AASPIRE hopes that you will find these resources helpful.

The resources are broken down by role. The section for Patients and Supporters includes resources on:

• Personalized Accommodations Report 
• Healthcare
• Staying Healthy
• Your Rights in Healthcare
• Autism Information
• Medical Information
• Checklists and Worksheets

The section for Healthcare Providers includes information on:

• Autism Information, Diagnosis, and Referrals
• Caring for Patients on the Autism Spectrum
• Legal and Ethical Considerations
• Associated Conditions
• Resources and Links
