ABSTRACT Although autism is a childhood‐onset neurodevelopmental disorder, its features change across the life course due to combination of individual and contextual influences. However, influence factors on development during childhood beyond less frequently studied than such as genetic variants that increase risk, IQ, language, autistic features. Potentially important contexts include family environment socioeconomic status, social networks, school, work, services, neighborhood...
Clinical guidelines recommend that primary care providers (PCPs) provide guidance and support to ensure a planned transition from pediatric adult health for adolescents, beginning at age 12 years (1). However, most adolescents do not receive the recommended planning (2). This is particularly concerning with diagnosed mental, behavioral, developmental disorders (MBDDs) (3), who account approximately 20% of U.S. (4). Childhood MBDDs are linked increased long-term morbidity mortality; timely...
Persons identified in early childhood as having autism spectrum disorder (autism) often have co-occurring health problems that extend into adolescence (1-3).Although only limited data exist on their and use of care services they transition to adolescence, emerging suggest a minority these persons receive recommended guidance* from primary providers (PCPs) starting at age 12 years ensure planned pediatric adult (4,5).To address this gap data, researchers analyzed preliminary follow-up survey...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with episodic memory impairment. However, memories include a variety of contextual details, and it difficult to solely rely on behavioral data assess how specifically (i.e. event-specific reinstatement) an event remembered. We applied encoding-retrieval representational similarity (ERS) analysis EEG ERS for object-context associations in sample 34 adults (17 with, 17 without ASD). Participants studied objects presented alongside 2 features:...
Abstract Smartphones have become near ubiquitous on the global stage placing power of both computational analytics and communication into hands users in high low-resource regions alike. The potential to leverage these devices address inequities healthcare are enormous. Our development team theorizes that we can create a medical device blending traditional pediatric phototherapy irradiance meter for treatment neonatal jaundice with mobile smartphone reasonably priced improved performance...
Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD) transitioned to telehealth services due the COVID-19 pandemic. Our objectives were describe reductions in allied behavioral healthcare receipt of caregiver training deliver at home because for ASD DD, factors associated worse response remote delivery ASD.
ABSTRACT: Objective: Understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic affected children with disabilities is essential for future public health emergencies. We compared autism spectrum disorder (ASD) those another developmental disability (DD) and from general population (POP) regarding (1) missed or delayed appointments regular health/dental services, immunizations, specialty services; (2) reasons difficulty accessing care; (3) use of remote learning school supports. Method: Caregivers previously...
