Dr. Gregory Wallace<\/a> dives into available research on health and quality of life outcomes associated with aging in autism. He discusses possible links between Parkinsonism and autism and details how researchers assess brain structure and function using fMRI. The speaker considers disparities in quality of life metrics and emphasizes the critical need for longitudinal studies on the lived experiences of older autistic adults. Wallace summarizes his presentation, reiterating the need for further investigation and potential barriers to research. He provides thanks and acknowledgments before the Q&A.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
