We are now in mid-summer, and I hope you and your family are keeping cool during these sizzling hot days. ARI’s staff and I continue to work on new and exciting initiatives and projects, and we will announce them in the coming months. Stay tuned!
If you missed it, the last issue of our e-newsletter included my new editorial, Large-scale studies in autism: What do they show?Given the numerous small, medium, and large-scale research studies, the autism and medical communities should no longer question whether or not autistic individuals may suffer from one or more medical conditions. In addition, clinicians should make a concerted effort to assess each individual's medical status, especially since many, if not most, individuals on the spectrum have challenges in communicating their discomfort and pain.
