AI Summary

A recent study from Karolinska Institutet has found that autistic youth are less likely to visit youth clinics compared to their peers. This disparity may be attributed to various factors, including difficulties in navigating traditional healthcare systems. However, the study suggests that digital health care consultations could potentially help bridge this gap. The results imply that digital consultations may provide a more accessible and convenient option for autistic youth to receive sexual health care, which is often a sensitive and stigmatized topic.
