Prospects for Leveling the Playing Field for Black Children With Autism.
Among the many race-based health disparities that have persistently plagued the US population, the disproportionate burden of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes to Black children affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is particularly devastating given its major lifelong consequences. Recently,...

Recently, in 3 successive reports from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) program of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (birth cohort years 2014, 2016, and 2018), we and our collaborators reported that although the prevalence of community-diagnosed ASD had equalized for Black and non-Hispanic White (NHW) children in the United States, there has persisted a pronounced racial disparity in the proportion of ASD-affected children with comorbid intellectual disability (ID), on the order of 50% for Black children with ASD vs 20% for White children with ASD. Here, we provide data to support the following: much earlier diagnosis is possible; early diagnosis alone is not likely to close the ID comorbidity disparity; and judicious efforts over care as usual are necessary to ensure that Black children have access to timely implementation of developmental therapy, for which we observed promising associations with improved cognitive and adaptive outcomes in our sample. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
