In this article, I will review the available recent literature about the aging population with autism, a patient group that researchers know little about and a group that is experiencing a growing need for support from communication disorders professionals. Speech-language pathologists working with geriatric patients should become familiar with this issue, as the numbers of older patients with autism spectrum disorders is likely to increase. Our profession and our health care system must prepare to meet the challenge these patients and residents will present as they age.

Abstract.It is undeniable the importance of early detection in all developmental disorders, in children with ASD as well, for an early intervention in children and their families. An early intervention is a very important predictor in their functional recovery. That, put together with the growing incidence and prevalence of this kind of disorders, makes of our study field a matter of an increasing scientific and theoretical interest. In the current paper we deal with earlydetection, evaluation and intervention in children between 0 and 6 years with autism spectrum disorders in andalusian health care system.Resumen.Es innegable la importancia que tiene la detección precoz de cualquier trastorno del desarrollo –y por ende del TEA- para la intervención temprana con los menores y sus familias. Una intervención temprana constituye un importante predictor en la recuperación funcional de estos menores, y esto unido a la creciente incidencia y prevalencia de estos trastornos, hace de nuestro objeto de estudio un tema creciente de gran interés científico y teórico. En la presente comunicación abordamos el circuito de detección, evaluación e intervención temprana en niñas y niños de 0 a 6 años con trastorno del espectro autista en la sanidad andaluza.

AbstractSubjects with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have more medical needs and more difficulties accessing health care services than the general population. Their verbal and non-verbal communication difficulties and particular behaviors, along with lack of expertise on the part of physicians and failure of the services to make adjustments, make it difficult for them to obtain an appropriate health care.PurposeTo describe a model for health care delivery in an ASD population.MethodReview of relevant literature and a discussion process with stakeholders leading to the design of a service to meet the specialty health needs of subjects of all ages with ASD for a region with a population of 6,000,000.ResultsA service was designed centred around the concepts of case management, individualization, facilitation, accompaniment, continuous training and updating, and quality management. Five hundred and thirteen patients with ASD have been seen over a period of 18 months. The programme generated 1566 psychiatric visits and 1052 visits to other specialties (mainly Nutrition, Stomatology, Neurology, and Gastroenterology) in the same period.ConclusionPersons with ASD may benefit from adjustments of health care services in order to improve their access to adequate health care at the quality level of the rest of the population.
