Females evaluated for autism: characteristics and co-occurring and differential DSM-5 diagnoses.

Psychological and behavioral presentations among females referred for ASD evaluation varied with age and ASD diagnostic groups, highlighting potential female differences in ASD referrals and identification of ASD and the need to improve care for females in consideration of demographic factors.

Academic Skills in Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The co-presence of ASD and ID is associated with significant deficits in reading, spelling, and math, and the present meta-analytic results highlight the need for further research to fill a significant gap regarding the profile of academic abilities of students with ASD-ID.

Diagnostic findings and yield of investigations for children with developmental regression

The high diagnostic yield of ES, regardless of autism or ID diagnosis, indicates the presence of developmental regression as an opportunity to identify the cause, including for genetic differences not previously reported to include regression.

Detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children and adults using machine learning

Federated learning technique has been uniquely applied for autism detection by training two different ML classifiers including logistic regression and support vector machine locally for classification of ASD factors and detection of ASD in children and adults.

"There is No Help:" Caregiver Perspectives on Service Needs for Adolescents and Adults with Profound Autism.

This study identified pressing service needs for adolescents and adults with profound autism in the United States by highlighting a pervasive shortage of individualized, goal-oriented services, common barriers to care, and the priority of developing centralized treatment settings that coordinate care throughout adulthood.

Familial Recurrence of Autism: Updates From the Baby Siblings Research Consortium.

The familial recurrence rate of ASD, as measured in infant sibling studies, has not changed appreciably since previous estimates were made in 2011, and younger siblings of autistic children, particularly those who are male, have an affected female sibling, multiple affected siblings, or are impacted by social inequities should be closely monitored.

Resilience and strengths in the Black autism community in the United States: A scoping review.

Socioeconomic Inequality in the Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from a U.S. Cross-Sectional Study

The stronger SES gradient in ASD prevalence in children with versus without a pre-existing ASD diagnosis points to potential ascertainment or diagnostic bias and to the possibility of SES disparity in access to services for children with autism.

Disparities in Early Intervention Program Participation by Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in a US Metropolitan Area, 2006 to 2016.

Early identification of ASD is an important public health priority and receipt of EIP services may improve ASD outcomes, and EIP participation by children with ASD increased during the 10-year period, however, receipt ofEIP services was marked by strong socioeconomic status- and race and ethnicity-based disparities.

Comparison of Two Case Definitions for Ascertaining Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder among 8-Year-Old Children.

An alternative case definition utilizing ASD diagnoses or classifications made by community professionals is developed, which does not require clinical review and collects about half as much data yielding more timely reporting, and reduces resource requirements while retaining similar measurement properties to the previous definition.

Brief Report: Classifying Rates of Students with Autism and Intellectual Disability in North Carolina: Roles of Race and Economic Disadvantage

Results revealed variability by county in ASD and ID prevalence, and in county-level ratios of ID vs. ASD classifications, which warrant further examination to ensure that North Carolina’s youth with disabilities access necessary, appropriate resources.

Comorbidity of intellectual disability confounds ascertainment of autism: implications for genetic diagnosis

The results suggest that current ascertainment practices are based on a single facet of autism‐specific clinical features and do not consider associated comorbidities that may confound diagnosis, and longitudinal studies with detailed phenotyping and deep molecular genetic analyses are necessary to completely understand the cause of this complex disorder.
