In this recorded webinar, Gregory L. Wallace, Ph.D., discusses areas of risk (for example, parkinsonism) and resilience (compensatory skills) that are being identified for autistic people as they age. He highlights how these areas of risk and resilience might impact mental and physical health as well as quality of life for autistic people.
