Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, to expand current medical providers' knowledge about autism, the department of public health will design and provide specialized training on autism through medical continuing education programs for primary care physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, dentists, emergency room personnel and other medical specialists. Once the training on autism is implemented, the department of public health will design a pilot program to ultimately develop one "autism team" who could be called upon should a patient with autism enter the emergency room, need tests or x-rays, or need to be admitted. Members of the "team" will have completed the specialized training on autism and will be knowledgeable about autism and communication difficulties many people with autism have and advise medical doctors and other staff how to communicate with the patient.
