Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents a unique challenge in psychiatry, characterized by its complexity of individual cases.1 The rising prevalence of complex ASD cases prioritizes effective diagnosis, individualized intervention, and support strategies.2 Traditional tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) are valuable for diagnostics, but they struggle to capture the subtle changes in social communication skills. This can make it challenging to design individualized interventions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
