Today, autism affects more than one in 100 people. Research has continued to broaden the spectrum of identified syndrome expression in the 75 years since Dr. Leo Kanner first defined "early infantile autism". With greater understanding, those living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can experience less stigma and greater acceptance by society.
The Annual Review of Public Health is Open Access and free to read anytime, thanks to support provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to increase openness and transparency in research.
Annual Reviews has curated a special article collection by invited experts who review advances in research on ASD etiology, epidemiology, diagnostics, and therapy tools. All articles in this collection are FREE to read through May 31, 2018.
