This meta-analytical review examines the clinical effectiveness of virtual reality interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, particularly in physical therapy contexts. The analysis synthesizes evidence on therapeutic outcomes and efficacy of VR-based treatment approaches across multiple studies.
This epidemiological study analyzed national survey data from 2016–2024 to examine prevalence trends in ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, intellectual disability, and other developmental delays in US children aged 3–17 years. Results showed significant increases in ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism prevalence, with distinct age patterns, while intellectual disability remained stable, highlighting a growing public health challenge requiring enhanced early identification and research.
This transdiagnostic study investigates how autistic traits manifest across patients with mood and psychotic spectrum disorders in an outpatient setting. The research uses empirical methods to map trait profiles, potentially improving diagnostic precision and treatment approaches for individuals with overlapping presentations.
This scoping review examines theatre-based interventions as a therapeutic approach for individuals with autism spectrum disorder across different age groups. The review synthesizes evidence on how theatrical techniques may support social communication, emotional expression, and other developmental outcomes in autistic populations.
Researchers developed a mannose-modified nanomicelle (Man-LA) designed to deliver hydrogen sulfide directly to the brain via GLUT1 transporters in astrocytes, and demonstrated in rat autism models that it alleviates behavioral symptoms while promoting aerobic glycolysis and protecting hippocampal neurons. The study identifies dysregulation of astrocytic aerobic glycolysis and H₂S signaling as potentially important in autism pathophysiology, though these findings remain preclinical and require human validation.
