Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC)  Office of Autism Research Coordination	The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) and the Office of Autism Research Coordination are pleased to announce the release of the 2013 IACC Summary of Advances in Autism Spectrum Disorder Research in conjunction with the celebration of National Autism Awareness Month. The 2013 IACC Summary of Advances is a collection of brief summaries of studies selected by the IACC as the twenty most significant biomedical and services research advances in the field of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research in 2013.
Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC)	Each year, the IACC releases its annual list of scientific advances that represent significant progress in the field. The 20 studies selected have given new insight into the complex causes of autism and potential risk factors, studied clues that could lead to earlier diagnosis, and evaluated promising early intervention strategies
Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC)	Thursday, April 17, 2014 - IACC Releases its 2013 Summary of Advances in Autism Spectrum Disorder Research During Autism Awareness Month.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	About 1 in 6 children in the United States had a developmental disability in 2006-2008, ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	About 1 in 68 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	ASD is almost 5 times more common among boys (1 in 42) than among girls (1 in 189).
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	ASD commonly co-occurs with other developmental, psychiatric, neurologic, chromosomal, and genetic diagnoses.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	Almost half (46%) of children identified with ASD has average to above average intellectual ability.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	Studies have shown that parents of children with ASD notice a developmental problem before their child's first birthday. Concerns about vision and hearing were more often reported in the first year, and differences in social, communication, and fine motor skills were evident from 6 months of age.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	Many studies have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, the studies continue to show that vaccines are not associated with ASD.
