Scientists and therapists are working tirelessly to determine which therapies are most effective for the treatment of autism. They present their research findings at scientific meetings and in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Each published scientific article begins with a short abstract that summarizes the important points of the paper. The abstracts are designed so that other scientists in the field can quickly understand and build upon each individual scientific finding.
Here you will find lay abstracts of these scientific publications. They are designed so that you can also quickly understand the basic points of each research article and the implications for your own child's care. At the end of each lay summary you will find a link to the original scientific abstract. If you go to the scientific abstract, you may also find a link to the original publication. Sometimes the publications can be obtained for free and sometimes they must be purchased.
Many talented people understand that autism is an important issue that affects many families. As they work to optimize therapies and find a cure, they will be publishing their research as quickly as they can. The lay summaries allow you to understand the research and apply it to your child as quickly as you can.
