Ageing in autism is a neglected area of research, accounting for less than 1% of all indexed autism research pre-2022. Gavin will begin by discussing how historic changes to the diagnostic criteria of autism has resulted in upwards of 90% of autistic people over 50 being undiagnosed. He will then discuss how different but complementary conceptual approaches can be used to examine ageing in autism (i.e., dimensional trait-based approaches and categorical diagnosis-based approaches). Using these different but complimentary approaches, he will share a high-level overview of some recent empirical research findings from a range of studies related to cognition, health, wellbeing, and life experiences. These studies will be pieced together to create a broad picture of where support can be provided to improve the quality of life and outcomes of ageing autistic people, to ensure they live long and happy lives.
