摘要
Objective: This review article provides an overview of the most recent developments in the literature regarding autism spectrum disorders including epidemiology, etiology, assessment, and management/treatment. Method: A review of the recent literature was conducted using Medline and the search term "Autism Spectrum Disorders." Results: Autism Spectrum Disorders are more common than previously believed (I in 166), and etiology appears to be multifaceted including both heritable and non-heritable factors. State of the art treatment includes comprehensive medical monitoring as well as behavioral intervention. Conclusions: Current and anticipated federal funding, policy changes, and large scale research projects provide promise for increasing knowledge about Autism Spectrum Disorders.
