Abstract
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by differences in social communication and the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests [American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders]. The prevalence rate of autism has increased in recent years, now occurring in 1 in 44 children in the United States [Maenner et al. (2021). Prevalence of autism spectrum disorder among children aged 8 years – Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2018. Surveillance Summaries, 70(11), 1–16. https://doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.ss7011a1 ]. As more children are identified as autistic, more healthcare and educational professionals are involved in the care of these unique individuals. Understanding the challenges, as well as the strengths, of individuals on the autism spectrum is paramount to promoting the well-being of these children. One framework that aids in better understanding and supporting autistic individuals is the neurodiversity paradigm. The purpose of this practitioner review is to: (1) provide a broad overview of the tenets of the neurodiversity paradigm and (2) provide recommendations for neurodiversity affirming service provision.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
