Editor-in-Chief: Fred R. Volkmar - The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders is the leading peer-reviewed, scholarly periodical focusing on all aspects of autism spectrum disorders  and related developmental disabilities. Published monthly, JADD is committed to advancing the understanding of autism, including potential causes and prevalence (e.g., genetic, immunological, environmental); diagnosis advancements; and effective clinical care, education, and treatment for all individuals. Studies of diagnostic reliability and validity, psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatment efficacy, and mental health services effectiveness are encouraged. JADD also seeks to promote the well-being of children and families by publishing scholarly papers on such subjects as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture and society, and service provision as they pertain to the mental health of children and families. Review articles are solicited in targeted areas of special interest; book and media reviews provide targeted updates on important new materials; and the Ask the Editor column serves as a forum for addressing timely questions of relevance to JADD’s broad readership.

ReConnect Autism

Why we should cease demanding eye contact from children with Autism. Why not develop circumstances where the child wants to look at us. Eye contact is not a social skill, but an instinct we use when comfortable with our partners to gain perspectives and share experiences. Prompting eye contact from a child does not mean that they are paying attention to you, it may in fact have the complete opposite effect.

Thank you Kathy for RDI info. Three years ago, Our Child Development Specialist/Pediatrician has recommended RDI for our 6 year old son. We have not had much success with our insurance company covering this service. Also, there are few RDI Consultants in our region. July 8, 2011 5:04 AM
