Autism Spectrum Disorder: Neurocognitive Characteristics, Assessment and Therapies
January 29 (Thursday) from 1pm to 4pm Eastern Time (noon–3pm Central Time, 10am–1pm Pacific Time)
This 3-hour webinar provides a focused overview of the neurocognitive characteristics, diagnostic assessment, and therapeutic approaches in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Building on sound understanding of neurobiological and syndromal foundations, this webinar emphasizes ASD as a behaviorally defined and highly heterogeneous spectrum, highlighting how core diagnostic features manifest across cognition, language, adaptive functioning, and psychiatric comorbidity. Participants will review DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria and specifiers, key differential diagnoses across the lifespan, and characteristic neuropsychological profiles, including executive dysfunction, social cognition, and perceptual processing styles. The webinar reviews evidence-based assessment practices, emerging biomarkers, and current intervention models, while addressing lifespan outcomes, health disparities, and contemporary ethical and neurodiversity-related considerations.
Topics to be covered:
1. Defining Autism Spectrum Disorder: Behavioral criteria, heterogeneity, and the current conceptual framework.
2. Diagnostic Criteria and Specifiers: Core domains, severity levels, and functional support needs.
3. Differential Diagnosis Across Development: Distinguishing ASD from other neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and neurological conditions.
4. Neurocognitive Profiles in ASD: Executive function, social cognition, perceptual processing, and “spiky” cognitive patterns.
5. Psychiatric and Medical Comorbidity: ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, sleep, sensory, and medical co-occurrences.
6. Epidemiology and Diagnostic Trends: Prevalence estimates, sex differences, and diagnostic ambiguities.
7. Assessment Tools and Biomarkers: ADOS-2, ADI-R, cognitive and adaptive measures, and emerging digital approaches.
8. Intervention Approaches: Behavioral, educational, pharmacologic, and experimental neuromodulation strategies.
9. Lifespan Outcomes and Disparities: Transition to adulthood, quality of life, and access to care.
Learning objectives for training:
1. Describe the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for ASD and the role of specifiers and severity ratings.
2. Identify key neurocognitive characteristics commonly observed in individuals with ASD.
3. Differentiate ASD from other conditions with overlapping developmental or psychiatric features.
4. Summarize evidence-based assessment and intervention approaches used in contemporary ASD practice.
