This week, Keith, Will, Stacey and Jennifer speak with Dr. Clarissa Kripke, University of California, San Francisco faculty member, whose medical practice and clinical work focus on the autism community. Dr. Kripke discusses health dynamics in the autism community, including anxiety issues, and some of the approaches that she and her UCSF group are developing.

Wish someone steered my parents to someone who knew someone in a similar position in the late 1970s/early 1980s at UCSF

Does UCSF Dr. Kripke (or similar minded Dr.) take new autism patients who are not a member of Golden Gate Regional Center? Or NOT member of any regional center? My wife Jennifer (autism) has a pattern of 911 visits to Emergency Rooms constantly, on occasion John Walker (AASCEND member diagnosis late in life) also. The visits hospital Emergency Rooms mostly end up negative, as in no health issues (@9:40). @9:40 quote "...people with disabilities get sick like everyone else, but they aren't sick..." Also need Work FMLA, Resonable Accomodations, work letters.
