| Abstract: | (CIT): Recent studies suggest that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may occur in about one out of 150 children. ASD is typically diagnosed in early childhood although some of the related conditions may not be diagnosed until a child enters school. ASD manifests itself in many different ways that range from non-verbal learning disorders to pervasive developmental disorders, including Asperger's Syndrome and frank autism. What populations are most at risk for having ASD? How are autism spectrum disorders characterized? Is the prevalence of ASD truly increasing? This forum will address the prevailing theories and current research on ASD, discuss early diagnosis, and options for interventions to lessen symptoms and improve functionality. Committee Members: Chair: Carol Alderson Members: Abby Ershow, Susan Garges, Valery Gordon, Christian Ketchum, Bob Mays, Nancy Pearson, Grace Shen. |
