Autistic individuals are more likely to have co-occurring health conditions and experience a cascade of health disparities compared to those who are not autistic. While ample research continues to be conducted to decrease disparities, it often is done without the input from autistic individuals. In this qualitative study, we interviewed 15 autistic adults to explore how a healthcare services app could be adapted for autistic adults. Overall, participants agreed that a healthcare services app specific to autistic adults could be beneficial. In addition, participants provided feedback on the types of healthcare services, filter options, and software features in the app. Implications for research and practice will be discussed.
