Recent research indicates that many autistic people might have co-occurring substance use disorder. Let's talk about what this entails and reasons for autistic folks turning to substances in the first place.
Topics discussed also include:

  • Substance use disorder according to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
  • How those with ADHD + autism may be at an even greater risk for developing substance use disorder (SUD)
  • The problem with current SUD treatment options
  • Other risk factors unique to autistic individuals that put them at greater risk for developing substance misuse and/or substance use disorder
