Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

In this research, we examine health care disparities linked to autism as situated around particular everyday problems encountered by families: negotiations of expertise, management of elopement and wandering, and acquisition of an autism diagnosis. Research, practice, and policy implications are discussed.
