Research In Action
Patty Huang, MD, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician at CHOP, is featured in this Medscape segment, Teens With ASD Who Want to Drive: Determining Who Is Ready.
In it, she shares questions to ask families to determine readiness to drive for teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and helpful resources.
Dr. Huang and a group of her colleagues, led by Dr. Allison Curry, recently published a study that showed a significant proportion of teens with autism spectrum disorder do drive, and that for many, the decision to attain a license appears to be made before these teens do a trial run on a learner’s permit.
