Extracting autism spectrum disorder data from the electronic health record.
This study uses electronic health record (EHR) data to examine medical utilization and track outcomes among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study also identifies challenges inherent in designing inclusive algorithms for identifying individuals with ASD and demonstrates the utility of employing multiple extractions to improve the completeness and quality of EHR data when conducting research.

Interventions targeting sensory challenges in autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review.
This review evaluated the effectiveness and safety of interventions targeting sensory challenges in ASD. It concluded that some interventions may yield modest short-term (<6 months) improvements in sensory- and ASD symptom severity-related outcomes; the evidence base is small, and the durability of the effects is unclear. Although some therapies may hold promise, substantial needs exist for continuing improvements in methodologic rigor.
