Abstract

Abstract: This series of articles aims to equip primary care providers (PCPs) with the tools to become healthcare leaders managing patients with pediatric autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD can experience optimal health outcomes when timely, evidence-based interventions are implemented in the primary care setting. PCPs are uniquely situated to institute changes that redirect the trajectory of ASD.
