Clinical impact of early diagnosis of autism on the prognosis and parent-child relationships
TLDR
A growing body of evidence supports the value of early diagnosis and treatment with evidence-based interventions, which can significantly improve the quality of life of individuals with ASD as well as of their carers and families.Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a lifelong condition that usually appears in late infancy or early childhood, and is characterized by social and communication deficits that impede optimal functioning. Despite widespread research and greater public awareness, ASD has an unclear etiology and no known cure, making it difficult to acquire accurate and timely diagnoses. In addition, once an ASD diagnosis is made, parents find it challenging to navigate the healthcare system and determine which interventions are most effective and appropriate for their child. A growing body of evidence supports the value of early diagnosis and treatment with evidence-based interventions, which can significantly improve the quality of life of individuals with ASD as well as of their carers and families. Particularly noteworthy are early interventions that occur in natural surroundings and can be modified to address age-related goals throughout the lifespan. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to: 1) provide readers with a brief background related to ASD; 2) describe commonly used screening instruments and tools for early diagnosis; 3) describe early interventions that have empirical support; and 4) discuss how the parent-child and family relationships can be affected through this process. This information can provide professionals with information they can use to assist families who make critical and potentially life-changing decisions for children with ASD.read more

Identifying Autism Spectrum Disorder With Multi-Site fMRI via Low-Rank Domain Adaptation
TL;DR: A multi-site adaption framework via low-rank representation decomposition (maLRR) for ASD identification based on functional MRI (fMRI) results suggest that the method yields superior performance over several state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods.

TL;DR: The results strongly indicate that the proposed hybrid deep lightweight feature extractor is suitable for autism detection using EEG signals and is ready to serve as part of an adjunct tool that aids neurologists during autism diagnosis in medical centers.
Autism treatment in the first year of life: a pilot study of Infant Start, a parent-implemented intervention for symptomatic infants
TL;DR: It appears feasible to identify and enroll symptomatic infants in parent-implemented intervention before 12 months, and the pilot study outcomes are promising, but testing the treatment’s efficacy awaits a randomized trial.

TL;DR: Few review types possess prescribed and explicit methodologies and many fall short of being mutually exclusive, but this typology provides a valuable reference point for those commissioning, conducting, supporting or interpreting reviews, both within health information and the wider health care domain.

Behavioral treatment and normal educational and intellectual functioning in young autistic children.
TL;DR: The results of behavior modification treatment for two groups of similarly constituted, young autistic children showed that 47% achieved normal intellectual and educational functioning, with normal-range IQ scores and successful first grade performance in public schools.
