Adult neurodevelopmental services in Singapore: A sociodemographic and clinical profile at a tertiary psychiatric hospital
In this study, adults with ASD had a unique social profile with different clinical needs compared to adults with only ID or to adults with co ‐occurring ASD and ID. Adults with only ID and those with co‐occurring ASD shared many of the same social characteristics and high clinical needs. The analysis of these profiles will be useful in developing services that better meet the needs of this complex group. (Source: Asia-Pacific Psychiatry)
