Abstract

Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face an increased risk of fractures; however, limited information is available regarding key fracture characteristics that could guide fracture prevention strategies. This descriptive study aimed to examine the reported activities leading to fractures, categorize fracture energy levels (e.g., low-energy fractures such as fragility fractures vs. high-energy fractures from incidents like motor vehicle accidents), and identify common fracture locations in adults with ID and ASD.
