Advances in genetics and genomics have confidently associated more than 100 genes and genomic regions with ASD. While these discoveries may someday usher in new therapies within the area of personalized medicine, what can pediatricians and caregivers do to support individuals with ASD and their families today? The answer is: plenty. This custom collection consists of important studies, expert recommendations, and practice pathways that inform pediatricians on practical ways to improve the lives of children with ASD and their families.
