Prevalence of ASD in the pediatric T1D population is comparable to the general population in Colorado. Individuals with ASD may experience barriers limiting CSII use, but achieve equivalent glycemic control compared to those without ASD. CSII may be more effective in maintaining lower HbA1c over time in those with ASD than in those without ASD.
