The current Autism CARES Act sunsets in late September.
Too often, people outside the margins of what’s considered classic autism are left out of research agendas, Abubakare says.
Intentional interactions with autistic people led Sasson to refocus his research.
Having a genetic predisposition to inflammation is linked to structural changes in brain regions implicated in neurodevelopmental conditions.
Early interventions for autism lack solid data. The source of this problem is murky but may stem from ongoing debates about evidence quality and entrenched conflicts of interest within the field.
