In order to write this book, I first had to study up on genetics and the issues involved. Then I had to try to explain them in a way that other newcomers to the subject could understand, without making terrible errors. It was a difficult task! I am therefore indebted to the members of the AAAS Advisory Panel (listed on page 82). At an all-day meeting in the spring of 1995, they steered my away from my original outline toward the book you find here. Many months later, several panel members provided very useful reviews of the manuscript. For this, I would like to thank Ruth Allen, Jeffrey Botkin, Ron Cole-Turner, Robert Cook-Deegan, and Joan Weiss.

    2020 Summary of Advances Nominations Question 1: Screening and Diagnosis NIMH Carbone PS, Campbell K, Wilkes J, Stoddard GJ, Huynh K, Young PC, Gabrielsen TP. Primary Care Autism Screening and Later Autism Diagnosis. Pediatrics. 2020 Aug;146(2):e20192314. doi: 10.1542/peds.2019-2314. Epub 2020 Jul 6. PMID: 32632024; PMCID: PMC7397730. The three main goals of this research study sought to illustrate the proportion of children screened by the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), identify characteristics associated with screen completion, and examine associations between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) screening and later ASD diagnosis. The data were drawn from toddlers (n=36,233) who were seen during their 18- and 24-month well-child visits between 2013-16. Within the sample, the findings showed that approximately 73% of children were screened and that 1.4% were eventually diagnosed with ASD. And among certain subgroups, the results showed that Hispanic children were less likely to be screened and that family physicians were also less likely to screen for ASD. The researchers also noted that while the American Academy of Family Physicians does not currently recommend universal ASD screening, they account for 16-21% of the provision of pediatric care, and thus represent an important opportunity to increase ASD screening in the US.

  • A Special Issue on Co-Existing Happily
    Volume No. 8 September - October 2017 Issue No. 5 Topic Team A Special Issue Topic Team Animals Socrates on Trees/ Plants Atlas Reptiles Apollo Birds Rhea Flowers Nyx Co-existing Happily Micro Organisms Zeus Insects Midas Sea Creatures Poseidon From the Editor’s desk… Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometres (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of the Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System. In the photograph, Earth’s apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight scattered by the camera’s optics. Voyager 1, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the Solar System, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and take one last photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, at the request of astronomer and author Carl Sagan. Seen from about 6 billion kilometres, Earth appears as a tiny dot (the bluish-white speck approximately halfway down the brown band to the right) within the darkness of deep space. I would like to present to you excerpts from Carl Sagan’s book, Pale Blue Dot. Do not miss reading every word of this piece. “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
