Abstract | Each year, the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) releases a list of scientific advances that represent significant progress in the field. The "2018 Summary of Advances" provides short, plain language summaries of the top research breakthroughs selected by the IACC from a pool of research articles nominated by the members. The 20 studies selected for 2018 have provided new insight into potential screening tools for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the development of brain regions implicated in ASD symptomatology, and the prevalence of ASD in children. The advances also include studies that analyzed the degree of inclusion of children severely affected by autism in treatment studies, the effect of insurance ASD mandates on health service use, and the manifestation of ASD symptoms in adolescents and young adults. Several of the selected studies compared the genetic variations that contribute to ASD and other psychiatric disorders; studies such as these will help elucidate shared mechanisms underlying these disorders. Articles in the "2018 IACC Summary of Advances" are grouped according to the topics represented by the seven questions of the "2016-2017 IACC Strategic Plan for ASD": (1) How Can I Recognize the Signs of ASD, and Why Is Early Detection so Important?; (2) What Is the Biology Underlying ASD?; (3) What Causes ASD, and Can Disabling Aspects of ASD Be Prevented or Preempted?; (4) Which Treatments and Interventions Will Help?; (5) What Kinds of Services and Supports Are Needed to Maximize Quality of Life for People on the Autism Spectrum?; (6) How Can We Meet the Needs of People with ASD as They Progress into and through Adulthood?; and (7) How Do We Continue to Build, Expand, and Enhance the Infrastructure System to Meet the Needs of the ASD Community? Citations for the articles selected for the "Summary of Advances," as well as a complete listing of those nominated, are included at the end of the document. (ERIC). |
