      Mind the Gap Intervention for Autism

      Davis, California
      The AIRB research team will compare the use and effectiveness of each intervention (Mind the Gap, Remaking Recess and Self Determination Learning Model of Instruction) with and without the addition of an implementation strategy, UNITED. In all groups, the research team will train community practitioners using remote delivery of professional development modules specific to the intervention, and active coaching for up to 12 sessions as dictated by the intervention procedures during a time span of 6 months. The research team will pair UNITED with three interventions that cover the ages of early childhood, childhood, and adolescence. These include Mind the Gap (MTG), a family navigation intervention for children newly diagnosed under age 8, Remaking Recess (RR), a school-based social/peer engagement intervention for children ages 5-12, and Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction (SDMLI), a self-advocacy intervention for adolescents (13-22 years; 22 is the upper age limit of high school for individuals with disabilities). For MTG, peer navigators (staff working in an organization that already works with parents) and parents (with children with ASD) will meet via phone or video conference for up to 12 sessions within a 6 month span (an hour each time). They will go over sessions that were created by the research group that help parents understand the system of acquiring services. The total time commitment for peer navigators is about 18 hours and for parents with children with ASD is about 8.5 hours. Identified families connected to the community organization will be matched with one peer navigator who will then guide and support the caregiver through completion of the MTG modules with active coaching of the family. Family needs and preferences will guide topic selection. Active coaching will occur via zoom, or over the phone, based on family preference and some recorded sessions will be shared with the research group for analyses. Mind the Gap will be available in English, Spanish, and Korean.

      Specialized Employment Program for Autism

      Palo Alto, California
      Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have significantly higher levels of unemployment and underemployment compared to their typically developing peers and all other groups with neurodevelopmental disorders, even though major companies that have employed and trained young people with ASD acclaim their significant innovations in their companies. The investigators hope to examine the effects of specialized employment support programs, over current traditional vocational rehabilitation approaches, for adults with ASD on their ability to maintain steady employment and overall benefit to the organizations at which they will be employed. The investigators predict that Stanford University's Neurodiversity at Work (NaW) Program will improve employment outcomes and positively impact the overall quality of life of individuals with ASD in this program. The investigators hope that the findings of the study will lead to the advancement of programs aimed to support individuals with ASD.

      Telehealth Parent Training for PRT

      Stanford, California
      There is an urgent need for improved access to effective autism treatments. With advances in technology, distance learning models have particular promise for families who cannot access evidence-based parent training locally or may be on long wait-lists for behavioral treatments. Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is an established treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, a telehealth PRT model has not yet been evaluated in a controlled trial. This study will examine the effects of training parents in PRT via secure video conferencing and investigate 1) whether parents can learn via telehealth to deliver PRT in the home setting (PRT-T) and 2) whether their children will show greater improvement in functional communication skills compared to children in a waitlist control group. Participants will include 40 children age 2 to 5 years with ASD and significant language delay. Eligible children will be randomly assigned to either PRT-T (N=20) or waiting list (N=20). Weekly 60-minute parent training sessions will be delivered for 12 weeks via secure video conferencing software by a PRT-trained study therapist. The effects of PRT-T on parent fidelity of PRT implementation, child communication deficits including frequency of functional verbal utterances, and parent-report of communication skills on standardized questionnaires will be evaluated. This research will provide a foundation for wider dissemination of technology-based solutions to improve access to ASD treatment.

      Pivotal Response Treatment for Autism

      Stanford, California
      Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a very heterogeneous disorder with limited empirically validated behavioral and biological interventions. The goal of this pilot investigation is to apply a biologically-based approach to identify predictors of treatment response in children with ASD who are receiving Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), an evidence-based behavioral intervention. Specifically, the investigators propose to identify neuroimaging biomarkers of treatment response to a PRT program (PRT-P) targeting language deficits in young children with ASD who will be randomized to either PRT-P or to a delayed treatment group (DTG).

      Telemedicine Assessments for Autism

      Sacramento, California
      The investigators propose to evaluate the use of a telemedicine tool, the TELE-ASD-PEDS (TAP), that is designed to assess for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms in toddlers. The TAP was developed at VUMC by a team of clinical psychologists with expertise in the early identification of ASD. The TAP has been studied in controlled laboratory settings, with high levels of family and clinician satisfaction, as well as excellent agreement with blinded comprehensive ASD evaluation. The TAP has also been used to complete direct-to-home telemedicine assessments during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the investigators have not yet compared direct-to-home assessments using the TAP with gold standard, in-person ASD assessments. It has also not yet been studied in a diverse sample of families or with providers outside of VUMC. This study will allow the investigators to address those gaps.

      Virtual Trauma Support for Autistic Adults with PTSD

      Laramie, Wyoming
      The goal of this single-group clinical trial is to learn about the initial efficacy and feasibility of telehealth-delivered Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for autistic adults with traumatic stress symptoms. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: * Do symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and co-occurring mental health concerns decrease after receiving WET? * Do biobehavioral health outcomes, including objective (Fitbit indicators of activity, sleep, and heart rate) and subjectively-reported health variables (e.g., sleep, pain, health-related quality of life), improve after receiving WET? * How do autistic adults experience WET, and how can this program be modified and enhance in the future in collaboration with autistic adults? Participants will complete the following as part of the study, which is completed entirely over telehealth. * Participants will first complete an initial assessment, involving brief measures of cognition and autistic traits, as well as interviews and questionnaires about PTSD, mental health, and physical health. If eligible, participants will proceed to the following steps: * Eligible participants will then start wearing a Fitbit, to be used for the duration of the study. * Participants will then participate in 5 weekly virtual visits involving the WET protocol, including weekly brief assessment of PTSD and mental and physical health. * Then, participants will complete a sixth virtual visit the following week where PTSD, mental and physical health, and treatment feedback are assessed. * Lastly, participants will complete virtual visits 1 and 6 months later involving re-assessment of PTSD and mental and physical health. Therefore, this is a pre-post single group design, where all participants will receive WET to establish initial efficacy and feasibility. Investigators will also consult with an autistic advisory board throughout the project, and make adaptations as recommended in consultation with autistic adults. The goal is to better understand the initial efficacy and feasibility of WET for supporting autistic adults who have experienced trauma.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Autism clinical trials in Phoenix, AZ pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Autism clinical trials in Phoenix, AZ work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Autism trials in Phoenix, AZ 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Phoenix, AZ for Autism is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Phoenix, AZ several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Autism medical study in Phoenix, AZ?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Autism clinical trials in Phoenix, AZ?

      Most recently, we added Fecal Microbiota Transplant for Autism, Online Pivotal Response Treatment for Autism and Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation for ADHD in Children with Autism to the Power online platform.

      Is there still a spectrum for autism?

      Yes—medical guidelines still call it Autism Spectrum Disorder, but experts no longer picture that spectrum as a single line from “mild” to “severe.” Instead, it’s more like a sound-mixing board with many sliders: social communication, repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivity, thinking style, and support needs can each sit at different points, creating a unique profile for every autistic person. Clinicians note these differences by assigning support levels (1-3) in each domain so interventions can be tailored rather than ranked.

      What is the biggest symptom of autism?

      There isn’t one “biggest” symptom of autism; doctors look for a pattern that includes BOTH social-communication differences (like trouble reading body language or carrying on back-and-forth conversation) and restricted, repetitive behaviours or intense interests/sensory sensitivities (such as needing strict routines or reacting strongly to noises). Which of these stands out most varies from person to person, so if you notice a persistent mix of them, the next step is to talk with your GP or a psychologist for a formal autism assessment and tailored support.

      Can maternal stress cause autism?

      Normal day-to-day worries during pregnancy have not been proven to cause autism. Large studies show that only very severe or long-lasting stress (such as the death of a close relative or a natural disaster) is linked to a small rise in risk—about 2 % to roughly 3 %—and even that link may partly reflect other genetic or environmental factors. Taking steps to manage high stress is good for overall maternal and baby health, but parents should not blame themselves or everyday stressors if a child is later diagnosed with autism.

      What is the life expectancy of someone with autism?

      Large registry studies (e.g., Sweden 2016, Denmark 2022) find that autistic people, on average, die 15–20 years earlier than non-autistic peers, with a median age of death around the mid-50s; the figure is lower (≈ 40s) when someone also has intellectual disability or uncontrolled epilepsy and higher (late 50s or beyond) when those conditions are absent. The gap is driven less by autism itself than by treatable or preventable issues—seizures, heart disease, accidents and suicide—so good medical follow-up, mental-health support and safety planning can help many autistic individuals live into typical older age.

      What is the best treatment for autism in the world?

      There is no one “best” treatment for every person with autism; the strongest evidence shows that progress comes from an individualized program that blends proven developmental-behavioral therapies (such as Applied Behavior Analysis or other naturalistic approaches) with speech-language and occupational therapy, parent coaching, and tailored educational supports. A multidisciplinary team adjusts this mix over time—and may add medication for anxiety, ADHD, or sleep problems—so the plan fits the person’s specific strengths, challenges, and goals, which is what international guidelines recommend for the best results.

      Is autism overdiagnosed?

      Rates of autism have risen sharply (e.g., from about 1 in 150 U.S. children in 2000 to 1 in 36 today), but most of that jump comes from broader definitions, better screening, and shifting other labels to “autism,” not from a sudden epidemic. Studies suggest roughly 1 in 10 people once given the label later lose it—evidence of some over-diagnosis—yet girls, adults, and many minority children are still frequently missed, so the real problem is uneven diagnosis rather than simply “too much” or “too little.” A careful, multidisciplinary assessment that also checks for ADHD, language disorders, anxiety, and other look-alike conditions is the best way to get an accurate answer for any individual.

      Who carries the autism gene?

      There is no single “autism gene.” Autism risk comes from a mix of many common genetic variants, rare mutations, and sometimes new (de-novo) changes that neither parent had; these can be inherited from either mother or father, while factors like higher paternal age and the female-protective effect can influence how that risk shows up. In short, either parent—or neither, if the change is new—can pass along genetic risk, so talking with a genetic counselor is the best way to understand a specific family’s situation.

      Which state has the highest rate of autism?

      In the latest CDC ADDM study, the surveillance area in California recorded the highest autism rate: roughly 4.5 % of 8-year-olds (about 45 children per 1,000). However, ADDM covers only parts of 11 states and other tracking systems use different methods, so rankings can change if you look at school records, insurance data, or adult estimates—meaning the numbers are useful for spotting trends, not declaring a single “most-autistic” state.

      Has anyone ever overcome autism?

      Autism is a lifelong neuro-developmental difference, so people don’t “overcome” it in the sense of being cured; instead, most continue to be autistic throughout life. With early, individualized supports and ongoing accommodations, many children and adults make major gains—some even lose the formal diagnosis—yet they often keep certain autistic traits and still benefit from understanding and acceptance. The practical aim is therefore not to erase autism but to build skills, reduce distress, and create environments where each autistic person can thrive.

      What was autism called in the 1980s?

      In the early-1980s diagnostic manual (DSM-III, 1980) autism was officially listed as “Infantile Autism,” and in the 1987 revision (DSM-III-R) the name was changed to “Autistic Disorder” under the larger category of “Pervasive Developmental Disorders.” Outside the U.S., doctors using the World Health Organization’s ICD-9 still called it “Childhood Autism.” In everyday practice, people might also have heard “Kanner’s autism” or “childhood psychosis,” but the two formal labels you would have seen on a medical chart during that decade were “Infantile Autism” at the start of the 1980s and “Autistic Disorder” by the end.
