Christopher Hanks studies healthcare for adolescents and adults on the autism spectrum, focusing on primary care programs, medication management, and the transition from pediatric to adult medical care. His work often examines health outcomes such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk, and body weight in autistic patients, particularly those taking psychiatric medications. This research is largely clinical and health-services oriented, drawing on cohort studies and patient records rather than laboratory neuroscience.
