TL;DR: This is the first randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate the efficacy of a comprehensive developmental behavioral intervention for toddlers with ASD for improving cognitive and adaptive behavior and reducing severity of ASD diagnosis.

TL;DR: This was the first trial to demonstrate that early behavioral intervention is associated with normalized patterns of brain activity, which was associated with improvements in social behavior, in young children with autism spectrum disorder.

TL;DR: Robust patterns of over- and under-connectivity are apparent at distinct spatial and temporal scales in ASD subjects in the eyes closed resting state.

TL;DR: Investigation of functional connectivity within the limbic system during face identification in high-functioning adults with ASD and age-and IQ-matched control adults suggested that abnormal neural connections within the limbsic system may contribute to the social impairments observed in ASD.

TL;DR: This first study to examine the role of early ESDM behavioral intervention initiated at less than 30 months of age in altering the longer-term developmental course of autism provides evidence that gains from early intensive intervention are maintained 2 years later.
