After a thorough systematic analysis, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine and other institutions found that evidence was lacking that higher intensity interventions provided increased benefits for young autistic children.
Researchers at UC San Diego found an unusually large brain may be the first sign of autism and visible as early as the first trimester.
Genetics, brain imaging and personal experience inform a new way to describe how autism looks and feels in individuals. The Beckman researchers behind this method — Stephanie Ceman, Laura Hetrick and Tracey Wszalek — nicknamed their interdisciplinary team The Mutual Admiration Society. The research takes place at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Inside of Science Hall at Canisius University sits the Institute of Autism Research, also known as the IAR. The institute's work is dedicated to understanding autism and helping individuals and families affected by autism.
A new study by UC Davis researchers finds key differences in the development of the cortex between autistic boys and girls ages 2-13.
A groundbreaking study led by UCLA Health has unveiled the most detailed view of the complex biological mechanisms underlying autism, showing the first link between genetic risk of the disorder to observed cellular and genetic activity across different layers of the brain.
A new study focused on the gene tied to a rare form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) called FOXP1 syndrome offers hope that gene therapy might be able to help patients with this condition.
A study co-led by researchers at UCLA Health has found distinct brain connectivity patterns in six-week-old infants at risk for developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
For people with autism, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain often go along with the social struggles and repetitive behaviors that define the condition. This has prompted many to wonder whether gastrointestinal (GI) problems arise due to autism’s behavioral or sensory features, or whether they might instead contribute to them.
New insights into the metabolism of autism from researchers at UC San Diego could help inform early detection and prevention strategies for the disorder.
Autistic young adults face many barriers to employment and often struggle to reconcile their hopes and expectations for a future career during vocational planning.
As a parent, you want your child to be inclusive and accepting of the people they encounter—including those with autism spectrum disorder. Approximately 95% of children with disabilities enroll in regular schools. That means your child is likely to meet someone with autism in class or extracurricular activities, whether they realize it or not.
Digital art, sketchings and paintings are among the art work displayed at the Westwood Gallery in Westwood and the Frederick Galleries in Spring Lake in observance of Autism Acceptance Month.
The Pediatric Emergency Department at Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack Meridian Children's Health has been awarded the accolade of becoming the first Emergency Department in New Jersey to earn the Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
By: Bill Wellock | Published: April 17, 2024 | 8:30 am | SHARE: April is Autism Acceptance Month, an opportunity to raise public awareness and support for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Florida State University experts work to promote interdisciplinary research that advances our understanding of autism and bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and clinical/educational practice.
Direct relatives of people with autism sometimes display similar traits, in a much milder form that may not even be noticed outside a lab. While the Broad Autism Phenotype—mild, sub-clinical autistic characteristics or behaviors in first-degree relatives of people with autism—has been studied extensively in siblings, few studies exist on parents of children with autism.
