In this webinar, we will present autism diagnostic criteria, including diverse presentations, school-based examples, and a focus on middle/high school youth. We will describe autism from a neurodiversity framework and discuss common misconceptions. We will discuss screening tools that may be helpful in school-based health center settings to determine who may be appropriate for an autism evaluation referral. Finally, we will present next steps and resources for school teams and parents.

Individuals with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities (IDD) frequently experience crises that are driven by under-recognized medical factors—particularly sleep disorders and other biological contributors. This webinar will explore how medical complexity intersects with behavioral crisis in Autism and IDD populations, and how fragmentation between medical and mental health systems can worsen outcomes.
