With significant racial inequities existing in access to services for youth with autism spectrum disorder, we spoke with an expert about how those in health care can work together to close these gaps and destigmatize disparities.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder often have issue with facial emotion recognition (FER). The researchers sought to determine whether these deficits arise because facial emotion information is not encoded in their neural signal, or because it is encoded, but fails to translate to FER behavior.
Researchers sought to answer this question: How do rates of readmission compare for risperidone and aripiprazole when used for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder?
Adolescents with autism are more likely to have physical difficulties and additional mental health or other conditions compared with general population controls.
This study looked to identify modifiable early intervention factors that are associated with better outcomes and possible high-risk groups of children with ASD who are at risk of poorer outcomes.
