This knowledge path about autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been
compiled by the Maternal and Child Health
Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current,
high-quality resources about ASD screening and diagnosis, treatment and
intervention, communication, education, vocational challenges, and impact on
family life. Separate sections identify resources that address early
identification, early intervention and education, concerns about vaccines,
environmental health research, and inappropriate use of seclusion and
restraints. This knowledge path for health professionals, educators,
researchers, policymakers, and families will be updated periodically.
