Ensuring Peer-reviewed Medical Interventions Reach Autistic Patients
What do we know about autism?
Medical spend on autism is high, but the real cost is human.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its high associated costs and limited number of qualified providers.
Research exists which can reduce costs while improving patient care
Improves treatment effectiveness
Promotes understanding of causes and risk factors of medical conditions
Aids in developing new solutions and technologies
Optimizes clinician’s time
Identifies best practices
Provides insights into how to better engage patients and caregivers
My boys were extremely self-injurious, with tics, OCD, undiagnosed seizures, and having what appeared to be hallucinations causing aggression and panic.
The only reason my children are comfortable today is because our doctor took the initiative to uncover and treat the things that were physiologically wrong. It’s imperative that we make this more of a standard practice for people living with autism.
Casandra Oldham, TLI Director of Autism Programs
TLI is working to unite all corners of the autism community around what is known about autism treatment.
The launch of the Autism Knowledge Gateway (AKG) brings 40K+ peer reviewed articles in an AI-powered, research hub that is paving the way for a new level of autism care.
Key Features:
Extensive Research Database: Access to over 40,000 peer-reviewed articles categorized for ease of searchability.
AI-Powered Insights: Advanced AI tools to analyze and interpret research findings.
Private Discussions: Secure and confidential platform where clinicians can discuss case studies and current research.
Help us bring the Autism Knowledge Gateway to physicians, patients and loved ones and change care conversations today.
My son's seizures felt like so many other aspects of autism - misunderstood
Because the abnormalities in his EEG were not “consistent with epilepsy”, many doctors threw up their hands. We finally found a doctor that understood autism beyond the diagnosis. Through a more comprehensive lens, we were able to identify issues with his autonomic nervous system, helping us to get these episodes mostly under control.
Keri Schoenbrun, TLI Development Director
The AKG aims to:
Enhance Access to Knowledge: Facilitate access to critical, peer-reviewed research and medical interventions for autism.
Support Healthcare Providers: Equip providers with comprehensive, up-to-date resources to better meet the needs of ASD patients.
Improve Patient Outcomes: Provide patients and caregivers with valuable information to manage ASD more effectively.
The AKG is an Evolving Program
How do you want to participate?
In October 2023 we launched the alpha phase of the AKG and October 1 - December 31, 2024 we are opening membership to our Physician Thought Leader group to engage with us for the second phase of development on a new technology platform and lend your expertise to help shape the AKG.
We are also building a list of early adopters who want to subscribe to use the Gateway in its upcoming beta version and offer feedback on what the AKG offers to physicians, advocates, caregivers and parents of those with autism.
