Autism Spectrum Disorder Update: Screening, Assessment, Genetics, and Multidisciplinary Treatment
Clinicians are frequently asked to evaluate children with social interaction and communication problems, odd behaviors, or emotional and behavioral difficulties. This Institute provides child and adolescent psychiatrists fundamental information on how to diagnose and treat children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Presentations include data on prevalence, a review of diagnostic criteria, clinical assessment, genetic work-up, and current evidence-based treatment options. Possible comorbid mental health conditions are identified and discussed as considerations when treating individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Current psychopharmacological, educational, psychotherapeutic, and behavioral options for intervention are reviewed. Awareness of the multiple domains autism spectrum disorder treatment can encompass helps child and adolescent psychiatrists to develop a realistic treatment plan.
