Abstract
Research on the impact of hospitalization on individuals with Asperger Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder is beginning to grow. Asperger Syndrome is starting to get recognition but limited research has examined the effects and the impact of medical procedures. This research project utilized a questionnaire for individuals with Asperger Syndrome who had previous medical experiences to evaluate effective and noneffective ways certified Child Life Specialists were helpful or not helpful during the experiences. Common themes and considerations for effective practice and support for individuals with Asperger Syndrome are discussed.
