The Academic-Autistic Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE) and other autism-related groups including ASAN have developed a web site http://www.autismandhealth.org/ which provides "information and worksheets for adults on the autism spectrum, supporters, and healthcare providers. It focuses on primary healthcare, or healthcare with a regular doctor. The resources on this site are meant to improve the healthcare of autistic adults. They were made [...] through a series of research studies funded by the National Institute of Mental Health."

My glance through the site appears to offer common-sense ideas and recommendations for individuals with ASDs to learn more about their health care with various physicians. This appears to be a great tool to help with independent living among individuals with ASDs.
