Description of System:The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network is an active surveillance program that provides estimates the prevalence ASD among children aged 8 years whose parents or guardians live in 11 ADDM sites United States (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin).Surveillance conducted two phases.The first phase involves review abstraction comprehensive evaluations were completed...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).2018.The and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network conducts active surveillance of ASD. This report focuses on the prevalence characteristics ASD among children aged 8 years in 2018 whose parents or guardians lived 11 ADDM sites United States (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin). To ascertain years, staff review abstract developmental evaluations records from community...
<h3>Context</h3>Best-estimate clinical diagnoses of specific autism spectrum disorders (autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder–not otherwise specified, and Asperger syndrome) have been used as the diagnostic gold standard, even when information from standardized instruments is available.<h3>Objective</h3>To determine whether relationships between behavioral phenotypes different vary across 12 university-based sites.<h3>Design</h3>Multisite observational study collecting...
Abstract To capture the full spectrum of genetic risk for autism, we performed a two-stage analysis rare de novo and inherited coding variants in 42,607 autism cases, including 35,130 new cases recruited online by SPARK. We identified 60 genes with exome-wide significance ( P < 2.5 × 10 −6 ), five NAV3 , ITSN1 MARK2 SCAF1 HNRNPUL2 ). The association is primarily driven loss-of-function (LoF) variants, an estimated relative 4, consistent moderate effect. Autistic individuals LoF four...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) are frequently codiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most of our current knowledge about ASD in FXS comes from family surveys and small studies. The objective this study was to examine the impact diagnosis a large clinic-based population better inform care people FXS. METHODS: employed data set populated by individuals seen at specialty clinics across country. were collected clinicians patient visit parent report for...
Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a genetically heterogeneous condition, caused by combination of rare de novo and inherited variants as well common in at least several hundred genes. However, significantly larger sample sizes are needed to identify the complete set genetic risk factors. We conducted pilot study for SPARK (SPARKForAutism.org) 457 families with ASD, all consented online. Whole exome sequencing (WES) genotyping data were generated each family using DNA from saliva....
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).2020.The and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network is an active surveillance program that estimates prevalence characteristics of ASD monitors timing identification among children aged 4 8 years. In 2020, a total 11 sites (located in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin) conducted years suspected Surveillance included who lived the area at any time during 2020. Children were...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a heterogeneous condition that poses challenges in describing the needs of individuals with autism and making prognoses about future outcomes. We applied newly proposed definition profound to surveillance data estimate percentage children who have describe their sociodemographic clinical characteristics.
The objectives of our study were to (a) report how many children met an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) surveillance definition but had no clinical diagnosis ASD in health or education records and (b) evaluate differences demographic, individual, service factors between with without a documented diagnosis. was conducted selected areas Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin. Children defined as having if sufficient...
Background Concerns have been raised that scores on standard measures of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms may differ as a function sex. However, these findings are hindered by small female samples studied thus far. The current study evaluated if, after accounting for age, IQ, and language level, sex affects ASD severity estimates from diagnostic among children with ASD. Methods Data were obtained eight sources comprising 27 sites. Linear mixed‐effects models, including random effect...
Background The Autism Diagnostic Interview, Revised (ADI‐R) is a caregiver interview that widely used as part of the diagnostic assessment for Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Few large‐scale studies have reported sensitivity and specificity ADI‐R algorithms, which are based on DSM‐IV Autistic criteria. Kim Lord ( Journal Developmental Disorders , 2012, 42, 82) developed revised DSM‐5‐based toddler only applicable to children under 4 years. current study algorithms ages 4–17 years examined their...
The early detection of developmental disorders is key to child outcome, allowing interventions be initiated which promote development and improve prognosis. Research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggests that behavioral signs can observed late in the first year life. Many these studies involve extensive frame-by-frame video observation analysis a child's natural behavior. Although nonintrusive, methods are extremely time-intensive require high level observer training; thus, they...
This study aimed to better understand predictors of evidence-based assessment practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Nationwide, 402 school psychologists were surveyed their knowledge and training experience with ASD on practices, including reported areas needs. The majority that they did not engage in comprehensive ASD, which was defined as assessments consider all development addition the use ASD-specific instruments. Results from logistic regression revealed training, working young...

A large number of adults and children consume soy in various forms, but little information is available regarding potential neurological side effects. Prior work indicates an association between the consumption soy-based diets seizure prevalence mouse models disease with autism. Herein, we sought to evaluate associations formula during infancy comorbidities persons fragile X syndrome (FXS), while controlling for potentially confounding issues, through a retrospective case-control survey...

The and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network is an active surveillance program that estimates prevalence characteristics of ASD monitors timing identification among children aged 4 8 years. In 2022, a total 16 sites (located in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas [two sites: Austin Laredo], Utah, Wisconsin) conducted for years suspected...
