Thank you for your enthusiastic response — we can’t wait to see all our registered participants soon!
Comorbidities common in autism—such as sleep disorders, gastrointestinal issues, sensory sensitivities, immune or metabolic disorders—may compound as people age, intersecting with the burdens of aging itself.
Older adults with autism are also more likely to suffer from obesity, high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk factors compared with non-autistic peers.
As part of its 30th Anniversary celebration, the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) in collaboration with Asian Hospital and Medical Center invites the public to a free public talk on “Aging and Autism: What the Future Holds”.
This timely and emerging topic will explore medical, social, cognitive and care issues for persons with autism as they become adults and grow older.
👉Your presence and voice will help turn information, awareness into action.
Admission is free, but seats are limited.

We are honored to have Dr. Alexis L. Reyes, a respected developmental pediatrician, professor at the University of the Philippines, and a long-standing authority on autism in the Philippines.
Her insights, especially in a local cultural and health-system context, will help bridge global evidence with Philippine realities.
Thus, in the context of CARD’s 30th Anniversary, this talk offers not only retrospective celebration, but forward-looking vision:
How do we support persons with autism into middle age, into senior years and ensure dignity, health, inclusion and quality of life as they age?
