Subramanyam AA, Mukherjee A, Dave M, Chavda K.
These guidelines have been framed after an amalgamation of expert guidelines across the globe, and existing practices in India, as outlined by experts in the field. Due to the lack of systematic research in the field of autism in India, the evidence of the said practices is not documented, which becomes a limitation of these guidelines. The good part is that India has an indigenous tool for assessment, which has been recommended by the Government of India, which we have attached as an Appendix 1.

Key Study: Assessing Ease of Delivering Emergency Care for Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Kouo T, Bharadwaj N, Kouo J, Tackett S, Ryan L.
The aim of this study was to develop a method for objectively assessing the delivery of care to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the emergency department (ED). The TCI reflects difficulty accomplishing core tasks necessary to complete an ED visit. Children with ASD have higher TCIs than neurotypical controls, which puts them at higher risk for care disruptions. Evaluation of initiatives to improve quality of care for children with ASD should focus not only on metrics of overall experience and satisfaction but also how these initiatives affect the ability to effectively administer care.
