This conference will outline the most common co-occurring conditions in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, including intellectual disabilities, anxiety, tics, attentional issues, epilepsy (seizures), and the pathophysiology affecting gastrointestinal tract and brain functioning. Audience members will learn about both the overlap and distinguishing features of these disorders in relation to autism in order to better differentiate between them. This will lead to intervention plans that better target the true underlying difficulties of the individual.
