DESCRIPTION:Ageing in autism is a neglected area of research\, accounting 
 for less than 1% of all indexed autism research pre-2022. Gavin will begin
  by discussing how historic changes to the diagnostic criteria of autism h
 as resulted in upwards of 90% of autistic people over 50 being undiagnosed
 . He will then discuss how different but complementary conceptual approach
 es can be used to examine ageing in autism (i.e.\, dimensional trait-based
  approaches and categorical diagnosis-based approaches). Using these diffe
 rent but complimentary approaches\, he will share a high-level overview of
  some recent empirical research findings from a range of studies related t
 o cognition\, health\, wellbeing\, and life experiences. These studies wil
 l be pieced together to create a broad picture of where support can be pro
 vided to improve the quality of life and outcomes of ageing autistic peopl
 e\, to ensure they live long and happy lives.
