TL;DR: If the unique microbial flora is found to be a causative or consequent factor in this type of autism, it may have implications with regard to a specific diagnostic test, its epidemiology, and for treatment and prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of age and treatment intensity on behavioral intervention outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the relationship of treatment hours and participant age with the rate of learning within an early intensive behavioral intervention program and find that for children between 2 and 7 years of age, there was a significant increase in new skill acquisition with increased treatment hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptom severity and challenging behavior in children with ASD
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a regression analysis of relations between endorsement of challenging behaviors and ASD symptom severity, and found that 94% of the sample reported the presence of challenging behavior, stereotypical behaviors were the most commonly reported, and the presence was predicted by ASD severity.
Journal Article
Applied behavior analytic interventions for children with autism: a description and review of treatment research.
TL;DR: ABA treatment programs for individuals with autism are supported by a significant amount of scientific evidence and are therefore recommended for use and patient care would likely benefit from a greater degree of collaboration between practitioners in the fields of ABA and psychiatry.
Journal ArticleDOI
