Summary
Recent research indicates that many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience significant symptom improvement. Some children even no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD over time.
Area of Science:
- Neurodevelopmental disorders
- Pediatric neurology
- Developmental psychology
Background:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was historically considered a lifelong disability.
- Emerging research challenges this long-held view.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize recent findings on the potential for substantial improvement in autism symptoms.
- To highlight the possibility of some children no longer meeting ASD diagnostic criteria.
Main Methods:
- Review of recent research findings on autism spectrum disorder.
- Expert commentary from leading autism researchers.
Main Results:
- Approximately 30% of children with ASD show substantial improvements in symptoms.
- Around 5% of children studied no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD.
Conclusions:
- The understanding of autism spectrum disorder is evolving.
- Substantial symptom improvement and potential remission are possible for some children with ASD.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.

1.7K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

3.6K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

2.1K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

3.6K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
