To complement these data, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our chartbook, Experience Matters: A View into the Health and Wellbeing of US Children and Families with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This chartbook highlights, over the course of several stand-alone chapters, the experiences of children and families with ASD using findings from several national surveys, including Pathways, the National Survey of Children's Health, the National Survey of Children with Special Healthcare Needs, and the National Health Interview Survey. The chartbook provides rich information for families, family advocates, policymakers, and others on topics such as the ASD diagnosis experience, the impact on the child's daily life, health care access, insurance coverage, school and social well-being, family wellbeing and family impact, safety concerns, and much more.
Stay tuned for the launch of our ASD portal, which will fast-track users to the wide variety of ASD-related data available on the Data Resource Center. In addition, the portal will invite users to explore the variety of ways ASD data is being put into action, learn more about the survey, and access a variety of others resources for families, advocates, and researchers.
