  • Autism Practice Parameters
    American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry AACAP is pleased to offer Practice Parameters as soon as they are approved by the AACAP Council, but prior to their publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP). This article may be revised during the JAACAP copyediting, author query, and proof reading processes. Any final changes in the document will be made at the time of print publication and will be reflected in the final electronic version of the Practice Parameter. AACAP and JAACAP, and its respective employees, are not responsible or liable for the use of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinion, or information contained in this iteration of this Practice Parameter. PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by patterns of delay and deviance in the development of social, communicative, and cognitive skills which arise in the first years of life. Although frequently associated with intellectual disability, this condition is distinctive in terms of its course, impact, and treatment. ASD has a wide range of syndrome expression and its management presents particular challenges for clinicians. Individuals with an ASD can present for clinical care at any point in development. The multiple developmental and behavioral problems associated with this condition necessitate multidisciplinary care, coordination of services, and advocacy for individuals and their families. Early, sustained intervention and the use of multiple treatment modalities are indicated. Key Words: autism, practice parameters, guidelines, developmental disorders, pervasive developmental disorders. ATTRIBUTION This parameter was developed by Fred Volkmar, M.D., Matthew Siegel, M.D., Marc Woodbury-Smith, M.D., Bryan King, M.D., James McCracken, M.D., Matthew State, M.D., Ph.D.

  • Placental Trophoblast Inclusions in Autism Spectrum Disorder George M
    Placental Trophoblast Inclusions in Autism Spectrum Disorder George M. Anderson, Andrea Jacobs-Stannard, Katarzyna Chawarska, Fred R. Volkmar, and Harvey J. Kliman Background: Microscopic examination of placental tissue may provide a route to assessing risk and understanding underlying biology of autism. Methods: Occurrence of a distinctive microscopic placental morphological abnormality, the trophoblast inclusion, was assessed using archived placental tissue. The rate of occurrence of trophoblast inclusion-positive slides observed for 13 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was compared to the rate in an anonymous consecutive birth cohort. Results: The occurrence of inclusion positive slides was significantly greater in the ASD group compared to the control group (6/27 slides, 22.2% vs. 12/154, 7.8%; Fisher Exact Test, two-tailed p ϭ .033; relative risk 2.85). The proportion of positive cases was also greater in the ASD group (5/13 cases, 38.5% vs. 8/61, 13.1%; Fisher Exact, two-tailed p ϭ .044; relative risk 2.93). Behavioral severity scores did not differ across groups of inclusion positive (N ϭ 4) and negative (N ϭ 8) ASD individuals. Conclusions: Although probably not functionally detrimental or causative, the greater occurrence of placental trophoblast inclusions observed in ASD individuals may reflect altered early developmental processes. Further research is required to replicate the basic finding, to understand the basis for the trophoblastic abnormality, and to determine the utility of the measure in early detection of ASD. Key Words: Autism, early screening, marker, placenta, trophoblast, genes, and in early screening or risk assessment. Although most trophoblast inclusion measurable biological phenotypes are expected to be multi- determined, they may actually offer advantages in reflecting win and family studies have provided convincing evi- convergent processes related to neurobiological abnormality.

    McPartland Lab Winter 2020 McPartland Lab NEWSLETTER Greetings from the McPartland Lab! We hope you are all well as we enter the holiday season! This has been a busy and exciting time for our research group. In response to the challenges presented by the pandemic, we have reinvented just about everything we do. Our clinicians have developed new ways of working with children and adults to ensure safety by using novel technologies that allow “distanced” assessments. Our research team has completely rebuilt our laboratories to enable us to continue our research studies with updated safety protocols. We think that many of these innovations will allow us to do an even better job when the pandemic subsides! We have been so excited to see many of you in person these past few months, and we have been so grateful for your willingness to continue to partner with us in these new circumstances. In this issue of our newsletter, we will highlight a new research study, introduce a member of our clinical research team, offer advice about navigating the educational system, and provide some ideas for celebrating this season. We were encouraged by the strong positive response we received to our last newsletter, and we welcome your input. Let us know what is most useful to you! Be well! Best wishes, Jamie McPartland McPartland Lab Winter 2020 Exciting New Research Study Both Yale and the National Institute of Mental Health have recently highlighted this new research study.

The Available online 25 November 2014 purpose of this review was to conduct a comprehensive and methodologically sound evaluation of the efficacy of sensory-based treatments for children with disabilities. Keywords: Methods for this review were registered with PROSPERO (CRD42012003243). Thirty Childhood developmental disorders studies involving 856 participants met our inclusion criteria and were included in this Intellectual disability review. Considerable heterogeneity was noted across studies in implementation, Autism spectrum disorder measurement, and study rigor. The research on sensory-based treatments is limited Systematic review due to insubstantial treatment outcomes, weak experimental designs, or high risk of bias. Although many people use and advocate for the use of sensory-based treatments and there is a substantial empirical literature on sensory-based treatments for children with disabilities, insufficient evidence exists to support their use.
