(2018). Autism spectrum disorder. Lancet (London, England), 392(10146), 508–520. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)31129-2
Key Ideas:
1. Successful intervention for children with ASD is a collaboration between the child, the family, therapists, and teachers.
2. Early intervention is key to better outcomes and increased social interaction and functionality.
3. ASD is a spectrum which means that no two individuals with ASD will display exactly the same symptoms. It is important to individualize intervention according to their needs.

Autism spectrum disorder is a term used to describe a constellation of early-appearing social communication deficits and repetitive sensory–motor behaviors associated with a strong genetic component as well as other causes 
2. Autism is seen as a spectrum that can range from very mild to severe with possible social communication deficits and repetitive and unusual sensory–motor behaviors.]]> 2023-04-13 14:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553242553 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553249055 ASD results from early altered brain development and neural reorganization. ]]> 2023-04-13 14:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553249055 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553252006 ASD can be diagnosed by various professionals (paediatricians, psychiatrists, or psychologists), ideally with input from multiple disciplines. Standardised diagnostic instruments are available, including the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children (STAT; a 20-min observation for young children) and the more heavily researched Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS;16 a 45-min observation done by a skilled professional, available in different formats for people of different language levels and ages, from 12 months to adulthood) ]]> 2023-04-13 14:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553252006 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553256988 1.

But some medications can help treat certain symptoms associated with ASD, especially certain behaviors.

The FDA has approved the use of some antipsychotic drugs, such as risperidone and aripripazole, for treating irritability associated with ASD in children between certain ages.]]> 2023-04-13 14:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553257199 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553264806 Priming sets the student up for success by providing them predictability, which also reduces anxiety. During priming, the student previews the materials that will be used in an upcoming activity, such as a worksheet, outline for a project, or schedule of events that will occur.]]> 2023-04-13 14:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553264806 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553265414 The particular modifications may differ based on individual students’ strengths and needs, but some examples of modifications include:

• Reformatting assignments to distinguish relevant details from irrelevant details
• Grouping like questions together on quizzes and tests
• Allowing additional time for the student to complete tasks

Incorporating these special interests into the autistic student’s curriculum is one way of making tasks interesting when they may initially seem overwhelming or meaningless. ]]> 2023-04-13 14:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553268197 emf1796 https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553268938 2023-04-13 14:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/emf1796/pw2p9c0a7cnpe4o4/wish/2553268938
