IMFAR WELCOME
Welcome to Maryland for the 15th annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR). More than
1,500 abstracts were submitted and reviewed for IMFAR 2016, and this year’s event promises exciting and
groundbreaking insights into autism causes and treatments.
I would like to thank the Scientific Program chairs, Drs. Dani Fallin and Stewart Mostofsky, for their efforts to
bring us top-notch keynote addresses, oral and poster sessions, Special Interest Groups, and luncheon events
for students and stakeholders. Also, I extend appreciation to the INSAR Board and the abstract reviewers for
the time and expertise they devoted to ensuring a stellar 2016 IMFAR scientific program. Special thanks to
Jennifer Gentry and Joe Dymek for all the behind-the-scenes efforts to ensure a highly organized and positive
experience for attendees.
Please join me in expressing heartfelt congratulations to those being honored this year as they receive the
Lifetime Achievement, Advocacy, Slifka/Ritvo Innovation, Young Investigator, and Dissertation awards.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the IMFAR preconference planning committee members, including Elizabeth
Stripling, Melanie Pinkett-Davis, Joy Johnson, Paul Lipkin, Theresa Sule, Jewell Thompson, Anna Maria WilmsFloet, Roma Vasa and the entire Marketing and PR Department from Kennedy Krieger Institute, who led our
planning efforts and deserve recognition for their hard work and excellent ideas. I also wish to thank the following
individuals who contributed to planning the preconference:
Stephanie Alban
Linda Brandenburg
M. Daniele Fallin
Carrie Hubbard
Steven Lindauer
Fernanda Orsati
Rebecca Rienze
Christy Russell
Beth Ann Schaeffer
Marjorie Shulbank
Christopher Smith
On behalf of all of us, I extend a warm welcome to Baltimore and wish you a fulfilling experience at IMFAR 2016.
In addition to soaking in exciting new research findings, I hope you will make time to experience some of the
history, sights, and cuisine of Baltimore—don’t leave without trying a Maryland crab cake, and be sure to take
home a can of Old Bay seasoning!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Landa, PhD
IMFAR Meeting Chair
IMFAR is the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR).

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Topics again spanned the full range of autism research, including epidemiology, services, brain structure and
function, diagnostic, behavioral and intellectual assessment, social behavior and social cognition, communication
and language, cognition and attention, repetitive behaviors and interests, comorbid syndromes, early
development, adult outcome, behavioral and pharmacological interventions across the lifespan, genetics, animal
models, molecular biology, family issues, new technologies, and perspectives across cultures and countries.
We continued the successful keynote speaker invited panels model from 2015. Our Keynote Lecturers, Irva
Hertz-Picciotto, Guoping Feng, and Paul Shattuck, span environmental health, molecular mechanisms of
neurodevelopmental disorders, and lifecourse outcomes and challenges for people with ASD. Each lecturer has
assembled a Keynote Panel Session of outstanding talks with high relevance to the subjects of their own lecture.
Keynote Panels will immediately follow each corresponding morning Keynote presentation. These topical panels
are designed to encourage in-depth discussion of the issues raised by our renowned speakers, and to contribute
a diversity of viewpoints. We tried to provide an opportunity for all topic areas in both oral and poster session
platforms. All 20 submission topics have at least one oral session or panel session this year. This year we
are also continuing the popular evening poster sessions with light hors-d’oeuvres, and lunchtime poster
sessions with food kiosks nearby, designed to enhance opportunities for scientific interactions in more relaxed,
social settings.
WELCOME
Welcome to the 15th annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
It is our privilege and great pleasure to share the Scientific Program with you. The wealth of fascinating, high
quality abstracts for panels, oral sessions and posters made our job both difficult and rewarding. The over 1,500
submissions this year were rated by dedicated reviewers, topic chairs, and members of the Program Committee,
resulting in over 1,400 acceptances. Presenters come from over 40 countries across the globe.
We are extremely grateful to each member of the Program Committee and to each Topic Review Chair or
Co-Chair (listed on page 16) for their hard work and rapid response. We are also grateful to all the INSAR
members who volunteered as reviewers to help inform the Topic Chairs in their challenging job of choosing oral
and poster session abstracts. INSAR President Geri Dawson, INSAR Board members, and INSAR Board-IMFAR
Liaison James McPartland contributed tremendously valuable input at each phase of program development.
Importantly, we all owe our deepest gratitude to Jennifer Gentry, INSAR Administrative Director, who
sustains this process across IMFAR conferences, and facilitates timely and professional organization, review,
and implementation of the scientific program, along with Josh Andrews, who implemented each stage in the
submission and acceptance process through the Confex software system. Personal thanks are extended to
everyone involved in the hard work of organizing the scientific program for another successful IMFAR in 2016.
We are honored to have the opportunity to showcase the latest exciting findings in autism research, and hope
that the work presented during our three days in historic Baltimore will improve the quality of life for people on
the autism spectrum and their families.

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
It’s truly a pleasure to welcome you to Baltimore for the 2016 International Meeting for Autism Research.
IMFAR brings together autism researchers from a wide range of disciplines from discovery science to population
health with practitioners, policy-makers, industry representatives, and those affected by autism. As a world-wide
forum, IMFAR offers an opportunity to learn from each other and form collaborations across the globe.
IMFAR 2016 would not have been possible without the hard work of many people. I wish to begin by thanking
Rebecca Landa, who serves as the 2016 Meeting Chair and is responsible for putting together an engaging preIMFAR stakeholder conference and a welcoming opening reception. She worked tirelessly throughout the year
with the local community and meeting planning committee, Joe Dymek and Jennifer Marshall from Conference
Direct, and Jennifer Gentry from Association Resources to create an inviting venue where we can share ideas,
present new findings, meet new people, and enjoy friendships and colleagues. I also want to express our deep
gratitude to Dani Fallin and Stewart Mostofsky who are responsible for the scientific program. Working with
the scientific program committee, their efforts in soliciting and overseeing the review of hundreds of abstracts
and proposals have resulted in an outstanding line-up of keynote speakers and panels, educational symposia,
and numerous scientific sessions which showcase the most recent scientific discoveries and their applications.
The meeting will also will provide a forum for many student and trainee activities, special interest groups, and
community and international forums to meet and collaborate.
I wish to congratulate Christopher Gillberg, who is receiving this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
His extensive research on the etiology and neuroscience of autism has greatly influenced our current
conceptualizations. I am also delighted that Tom Insel, formerly Director of the National Institute of Mental
Health, has been chosen to receive this year’s Advocate Award. We are especially grateful for his leadership of
the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee and advocacy for the importance of funding autism research. I
hope you will attend the awards ceremony so you can learn more about their accomplishments as well as those
of our Dissertation Award winners.
One of the pleasures of serving as President of INSAR is the opportunity to work with the INSAR board
members. I wish to thank Craig Newschaffer, Vice President, who leads our educational activities, Franky Happé,
Past-President, who is responsible for our global reach mission, Kasia Chawarska, Secretary, who oversees
awards and elections, David Amaral, Editor, Autism Research, Raphael Bernier, Treasurer, and Jamie McPartland,
Past-Treasurer, who helped organize the annual meeting. I also want to welcome Simon Baron-Cohen, who
recently was elected President-Elect and will work by my side during the upcoming year to provide leadership for
INSAR. The INSAR Board works closely with numerous committee chairs and members to advance our mission.
Without the volunteer efforts of the many people who care about promoting autism research and improving the
lives of those affected by autism, INSAR and the annual meeting would not be possible.
The past year has witnessed several new developments and successes, including hosting the first Regional
IMFAR meeting in Shanghai, China. I hope you will take a moment to read our first INSAR Annual Report, which
highlights the exciting accomplishments of the past year. One of our major accomplishments was updating
the INSAR Strategic Plan, which is now published on the INSAR website. The updated mission statement and
strategic plan reflects our continuing focus on promoting high quality science and nurturing new investigators
throughout the world, along with a stronger focus on translating that science to have real world impact. If you
are passionate about a scientific topic that you believe could have significant impact on policy or practice, I
hope you will consider applying for a new INSAR grant initiative that will support the creation of an INSAR Policy
Report, including a consensus meeting and document that describes policy recommendations.
Thank you for being part of IMFAR 2016. I hope the meeting will stimulate new ideas, catalyze collaboration, and
inspire and refresh you in your work. If you aren’t already a member, please considering becoming part of INSAR.

Irva Hertz-Picciotto, PhD
Dr. Hertz-Picciotto, Professor at the University of California Davis MIND Institute and Director of the NIH-funded UC
Davis Environmental Health Sciences Center, is an internationally renowned environmental epidemiologist. She has
over 300 scientific publications addressing environmental exposures, including metals, pesticides, air contaminants
and endocrine disrupting compounds; their interactions with nutrition, genes or social factors; and their effects on
pregnancy, the newborn, and child development. She directes CHARGE (Childhood Autism Risk from Genes and
Environment), the first large, comprehensive population-based study of environmental factors in autism, and MARBLES
(Markers of Autism Risk in Babies – Learning Early Signs) to search for early markers that will predict autism, starting
in pregnancy. Hertz-Picciotto has also led several cohort studies of toxic chemicals and both pregnancy outcomes and
early child development in Mexico, Chile, and eastern Europe. She has served on scientific advisory panels for the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the NIH National Toxicology Program, and the California Governor’s
Proposition 65 committee. She was elected President of two major professional epidemiology societies, and chaired
four National Academy of Sciences/Institute of Medicine Panels on: Agent Orange and Vietnam Veterans, and Breast
Cancer and the Environment.
Dr. Hertz-Picciotto has taught epidemiologic methods on four continents and mentored over 75 graduate students and
postdoctoral scholars. In 2011, she received the Goldsmith Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society
for Environmental Epidemiology. Recently she co-founded (with the Learning Disabilities Association) Project TENDR
(Targeting Environmental Neuro-Development Risks), a collaborative effort of scientists, clinicians, policy-makers and
advocates that aims to decrease the incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders by reducing neurotoxicant exposures
that contribute to them.
Paul Shattuck, PhD
Dr. Paul Shattuck, Director of the Life Course Outcomes Research Program at the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute, studies
experiences and services that promote positive outcomes for people on the autism spectrum, their families and
communities. Dr. Shattuck’s published studies have been formally recognized by federal agencies and private advocacy
groups as some the most important research in the field. Findings from this work have already helped shape our
understanding of autism by equipping families and policy makers with accurate and timely “news they can use.”
Dr. Shattuck’s work has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, the
Institute for Education Sciences, Autism Speaks, the Emch Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
and the Organization for Autism Research. His research publications have appeared in high-impact scientific journals

Epidemiologic Perspective
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Hall B
Speaker: Irva Hertz-Picciotto, Dept of Public Health Sciences,
School of Medicine, UC Davis MIND Institute, Davis, CA
By the end of the 20th century, very little rigorous research had been
conducted to uncover the causes for autism, although a few studies provided
compelling clues. This evidence pointed to several conclusions: first, that
both genetic and environmental factors could play a role, and second, that
the non-heritable causes might include both microbiologic (rubella, influenza)
and pharmacologic (thalidomide, valproic acid) agents. Even as theories
and myths have multiplied, the past decade has witnessed a new wave of
increasingly rigorous epidemiologic research, some of it quite robust. This
presentation will summarize: current knowledge on specific exposures in
early prenatal or postnatal life that are potential or likely contributing factors
to ASD; parallels with the literature on neurotoxins and cognitive impairment;
and promising approaches for integrating environmental epidemiology with
advances in molecular genetics. To meaningfully assess the current science,
key concepts will be interwoven, including the challenges to causal inference
from observational studies, and some under-appreciated implications of
multifactorial causation. Reflections will be offered for future directions in
research on etiologies of autism.
Keynote Panel Session
102 - Pushing the Boundaries for Understanding Environmental
Influences on Neurodevelopment
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Hall B
Session Chair: I. Hertz-Picciotto, Dept of Public Health Sciences,
Often, attention is drawn to the potential for neurodevelopmental damage
after a man-made disaster or accidental poisoning event, as occurred with
PCBs, methyl-mercury, and most recently, with lead in Flint, Michigan. Those
earlier tragedies, which led to serious mental and physical disabilities, served
as warning signs and led to in-depth research on lower level exposures to
the same substances, levels for which clinical signs are not obvious, yet
large epidemiologic studies have now uncovered the adverse consequences.
In this panel, Dr. Lanphear describes how low-level exposures have been
dismissed, even when comparisons with known toxins or drugs that trigger
problems at similarly low doses indicate reasons for concern. His presentation outlines what clinicians and scientists need to know about the biologic
impacts from lead, arsenic, and other exposures in early development. Dr.
Rauh uses novel approaches in a longitudinal study to examine how commonplace prenatal exposures may have long term impacts, and how imaging
studies are showing changes that correlate with gestational pesticide exposures. Her team has also identified surprising neurologic outcomes in schoolaged children. Dr. Engel takes a step back to consider various biomarkers
and how to circumvent the common pitfalls in environmental epidemiology
and strengthen the inferences that can be made with regard to causal rela-

tionships, based not only on consistency and replication across studies but
also on temporality, mechanistic considerations, dose-response, and other
attributes of observational studies. Dr. Fallin will lay out a framework for
integrating research on genetics with environmental epidemiology to harness
the power of -omics technology with large-scale well-designed epidemiologic
studies to advance the science of etiology in its multi-factorial complexity.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an emerging neuroscience technique that can be used to probe in vivo brain function. When applied repeatedly, TMS also has therapeutic applications in a number of psychiatric and
neurological conditions, most notably depression. In recent years a number
of research groups have begun to use TMS in autism spectrum disorder
(ASD). This has included studies of neuroplasticity, neurochemical systems,
and cortical excitability, but also the interventional use of repetitive TMS
(rTMS) in an attempt to elicit a therapeutic response. In 2013, an international group of leading ASD and brain stimulation researchers formed a consensus group for TMS in ASD, and are currently working toward a coordinated
approach for advancing basic and clinical science in this area. This panel will
provide an overview from four different labs that conduct TMS research in
ASD, and will feature both investigative and therapeutic studies.

Presentations in this panel present strategies for identifying and addressing
health disparities in the early detection of ASD, with a focus ranging from
evaluating psychometric properties of specific screening tools (BITSEA,
M-CHAT) in diverse populations to qualitative and systems-level visual analysis of multiple aspects of service delivery in community-based settings. The
use of methods such as machine learning (M-CHAT) and receiver operating
characteristic analyses (BITSEA) to optimize screener effectiveness highlights the availability of psychometrically-sound screening instruments for use
in diverse populations. However, broader systems analyses of completing
multi-stage screening, obtaining referrals for diagnostic evaluations, participating in diagnostic evaluations, and receiving services reveal challenges to
implementation of ASD screening in community-based settings. Challenges
include limited capacity of the service delivery system, family factors such as
hesitance to acknowledge a child’s problem, and finances. Implementation
of ASD screening is best understood as a dynamic process that is shaped
by organizational setting and mission and the unique characteristics of the
populations being served. Therefore, it is important to document variations in
practices designed to reach racial and ethnic minorities. Multiple contextual
factors must be considered and multiple stakeholders engaged when supporting families attempting to navigate service delivery systems for children
with possible ASD.

The field of ASD intervention research is in dire need of treatment response
measures that adequately capture subtle changes in social communication behaviors. This panel presents recent findings from different research
groups, introducing several advances in the development of outcome measures. We open with a presentation that reviews early intervention literature
and underscores the need for the development of outcome measures. The
next two presentations provide initial validity of a newly developed treatment
response measure known as the Brief Observation of Social Communication
Change (BOSCC) in two independent samples. We close with a presentation that extends this work to explore whether automated analyses of child
vocalizations using the LENA voice recorder can be useful in identifying
treatment response. Together this panel provides both an overview of our
current challenges and of initial cutting-edge results for future researchers to
expand upon. Implications for intervention research, behavioral phenotyping,
and clinical practice will be discussed.

106 - Behavioral Interventions for Adults with ASD
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Room 310
Session Chair: C. M. Conner, Department of Psychology, Virginia
Tech, Blacksburg, VA
While research on adult outcomes in ASD has been an area of recent focus,
intervention research has not kept pace, leaving the field fairly uninformed
regarding best practices. There is a critical need for treatment research given
outcome data suggesting that adults often struggle with psychiatric comorbidity, unemployment and underemployment, and overall diminished quality
of life. In this panel, four clinical scientists from different institutions present
original research on intervention studies for adults with ASD with diverse
targets. McVey and colleagues present data on a replication of the PEERSYoung Adult social skills intervention and investigate how the program affects
related issues such as anxiety. Eack and colleagues present data on an RCT
of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy, where social and nonsocial cognitive
rehabilitation is conducted, and have found effects in both neurocognitive and
social domains. Next, Schall and her colleagues present outcome data from
Project Search, an intervention focusing on training and maintaining vocational work. Lastly, Conner presents data on an adapted mindfulness-based
intervention for young adults with ASD focusing on emotion dysregulation.
Together, these presentations present preliminary results of wide ranging
intervention foci and implementation approaches. Collectively, the studies
suggest that clinically significant change is possible for adults.

Location listed under each session
130 - Implementing and Evaluating
Community-Based Early Intervention
Room 307
SIG Leaders: Kristelle Hudry & Giacomo Vivanti
Co-Leader (ECR): Melissa Maye
While the standard of research evaluating efficacious early-intervention for
autism has increased substantially, we are striving to progress evaluations
of effectiveness to determine the real-world impact of community-based
early-intervention (CBEI). Conducting rigorous research within communitybased settings brings significant methodological challenges, and at our
first SIG in 2015, we showcased the variety of studies currently underway
around the world via a series of short presentations by 10 SIG members
representing various groups and intervention models. These presentations
and the subsequent discussion from the floor highlighted the variety of
challenges inherent in conceptualising and executing CBEI research.
In 2016, we will draw on the points raised at the 2015 SIG meeting and
elaborate these through a series of invited presentations from SIG members.
Group discussion will follow with the aim of defining a vision for the field and
concrete steps for how to move forward.
131 - Moving Past the Categories:
Creating Novel Re-conceptualizations of the
ASD Diagnosis and Phenotype
Room 308
SIG Leaders: Eric London, Christopher Gillberg
Faculty: Nancy Minshew, Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom, Susan Hyman, Tristram
Smith, Margaret Bauman, Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, Matthew Maenner
Co-Leader: Alexis Stevenson
There are many serious clinical and research problems with the categorical
diagnosis of ASD which have been well documented and has prompted
the NIMH to support the RDoCs in lieu of DSM diagnosis for research. The
centrality of a category which might not be a “natural kind” has the potential
to derail progress in improving the treatment of those affected with autism.
Nevertheless, a nosology is needed, and replacing the DSM is a daunting
task which will require a large scale effort and ultimately consensus. The
goal of this SIG is to begin the process of creating an instrument which can
be used universally for both clinical work and research. This will be in the
form of a 5 tier electronic medical record (EMR). The tiers are 1) primary
care 2) specialty data; 3) etiologic data; 4) functional status 5) treatment
response. After a brief presentation of the issues prompting this effort, and a
description of the particulars of the EMR, the participants will break up into
working groups to begin the process of creating templates for a particular
topic. Examples of group topics are creating templates to measure social
symptoms, motor symptoms, anxiety symptoms, autonomic symptoms,
functional measures, translational measures bridging biologic findings with
clinical findings etc. Attention will be paid to the symptoms which vary
with development. It is anticipated that participants in the groups might go
on to continue to work on their topics offering opportunities for younger
investigators to take on leadership roles in the development of the EMR and
to create a research agenda to accomplish this.

132 - Older Adults with ASD:
The Consequences of Aging
Room 309
SIG Leaders: Hilde Geurts
Co-Leader: Amanda Roestorf
The first cohorts of people with ASD diagnosed in childhood are approaching
old age (55+). Unfortunately, we hardly know what the future in late
adulthood brings. Are there specific needs with respect to the care of these
older individuals? Will there be accelerated cognitive decline? How can
we differentiate between ASD related cognitive problems and emerging
dementia? We do not have the answers yet. The objective of this SIG is to
exchange the sparse knowledge on, respectively, care for older individuals;
cognitive aging; and assessment of ASD in older individuals. Around each
of these three topics smaller groups will meet for a short time to identify
priorities and challenges to overcome when studying this specific group.
Each group will present to the whole group for discussion and as a starting
point for future collaborations.
133 - Suicidality in Autism Spectrum Conditions:
Setting Priorities for Future Research
Room 310
SIG Leaders: Sarah Cassidy (Coventry University, UK), Jacqui Rodgers
(Newcastle University, UK), Mikle South (Brigham Young University, US),
Lori McIlwain (National Autism Association co-founder and board chair,
autism advocate).
Co-Leaders: Magda Glod and Kathryn Cook
Recent research has shown high rates of suicidal thoughts, behaviors,
and completed suicides in people with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC).
Systematic reviews have highlighted methodological weaknesses in the
limited number of available studies; small non-representative samples,
unconfirmed ASC diagnosis, lack of valid measures or attention to risk
and protective factors. This impedes development of new theories and
interventions to understand and reduce suicide risk in ASC. This SIG
therefore aims to identify priorities for future research and training, and
develop new collaborations, in order to increase the amount, pace, quality,
scale and scope of suicidality in ASC research. The session will begin with
quick fire presentations on the current state of the evidence. Small working
groups will then identify the most important question for future research to
address. A chaired large group discussion will then focus on prioritizing the
proposed research questions, and what specific next steps are needed to
realize these. The trainee co-leads will summarize the outcomes of the SIG,
discuss and identify training needs and career opportunities in this area, and
match students with group members with similar interests.

Although it has been known for several decades that autistic individuals grow
older, it is not until the last few years that there has been any research into
the effects of aging in this population. This is surprising given that ageing
in typical as well as other atypical populations carries with it a considerable
burden for the individual in terms of cognitive and adaptive changes, and
for society in terms of increased demands on systems of care provision.
The four presentations in this panel report on age-related, later lifespan
differences in cognition, quality of life and psychiatric comorbidities. These
studies, although cross-sectional in nature, will lay the groundwork for future
longitudinal follow-up investigations.

FRIDAY – AM
Recent genetic studies have identified a large number of candidate genes for
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), many of which encode synaptic proteins,
suggesting that synaptic dysfunction might be a key pathology in ASD. In
addition, recently, genetic studies have revealed a significant overlap of risk
genes for ASD and schizophrenia. However, it is not clear how different
mutations of the same gene could contribute to the manifestation of different
diseases. One such example is the Shank3 gene. The Shank3 gene encodes
a postsynaptic scaffolding protein critical for the development and function
of glutamatergic excitatory synapses. Disruption of the Shank3 gene is
thought to be the cause of the core neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral
deficits in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder.
Using various Shank3 mutant mice as a model system, I will discuss (1)
recent findings on synaptic and circuit mechanisms underlying autistic-like
behaviors in Shank3 mutant mice; (2) the reversibility of synaptic, circuit
and behavioral abnormalities in adult mutant mice; and (3) molecular and
synaptic mechanisms that may explain how different alleles of the same gene
lead to distinct synaptic and behavioral phenotypes in mice. Together, these
findings may inform exploration of neurobiological mechanisms of ASD in
human patients.

Discussant: J. Bascom, Autistic Self Advocacy Network, Washington, DC
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) occurs significantly less often in females
than in males, particularly among those without comorbid intellectual disability. Consistent with these discrepant prevalence rates, ASD research has
often focused primarily on males, limiting our knowledge of the ASD profile
in females. Increasingly, research examining gender differences in ASD has
found that females may be affected differently than males by this disorder.
Prior research has indicated that there are differences in symptom profiles,
delays in diagnosis, and differential impacts on daily functioning, but the
direction of effects differs notably across studies. The presentations in this
panel will focus on the unique presentation of ASD symptoms in females,
particularly those without intellectual disability. A meta-analysis of existing
research will review findings over the past several decades regarding gender
differences in symptom profiles across the range of intellectual disability.
Other presentations will discuss gender differences in adaptive behavior,
executive functioning, and core ASD symptoms, with a focus on females
without intellectual disability. Implications of these findings for better understanding the diagnosis of ASD among females, as well as long-term impacts
on daily functioning, will be discussed.

140 - Perspectives on Pain in ASD: Perception,
Physiology, and Behavior

Session Chair: M. D. Failla, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN
Discussant: C. J. Cascio, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine,
Nashville, TN
Despite the common assumption that individuals with ASD are less sensitive
to pain, empirical evidence is scarce and inconsistent. This panel will explore
the available evidence, beginning with a systematic review of clinical behavioral studies suggesting that measurement approaches (e.g., facial affect,
pain ratings, parent/self-report) heavily influence the presence and direction
of reported differences in pain perception in individuals with ASD. This will be
followed by three presentations that represent a range of these approaches,
including clinical/caregiver report, psychophysics, functional neuroimaging,
peripheral biopsy, and facial affect coding. The relation between pain and
self-injurious behavior in ASD will be considered, and a summary discussion
will synthesize the work presented with animal model and pharmacological
perspectives. The goal of this panel is to provide an overview of available
evidence for a severely under-studied aspect of sensory atypicality in ASD,
and to encourage collaborative efforts integrating several of these approaches within the same population to clarify the emerging story of differences
in pain perception in ASD. Given the potential for communication deficits
to mask altered pain perception in verbal or nonverbal measures, creative
approaches to understanding pain perception and processing are highly
important for improving quality of life for individuals with ASD.

141 - But It Worked So Well in the Lab! Measuring
Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices for Children
with Autism in Community Settings

Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
Implementation science comprises the study of methods to understand factors associated with successful integration of evidence-based interventions
into community practice. There is evidence suggesting that it takes an average of 17 years for autism evidence-based interventions (EBI) to enter community practice settings. EBIs for children with autism often include complex
and resource-intensive strategies that address different clinical outcomes that
must fit with the resources and mission of the organizations in which they
are implemented, and with the training and abilities of the practitioners using
them. Research on use of EBIs in community settings must focus on implementation outcomes. These include the extent to which EBIs are: 1) implemented in the way they were designed (fidelity); 2) integrated within a service
system (penetration); and 3) sustained once initial implementation efforts
end (sustainment). We will present data from a: 1) randomized school-based
implementation trial of a social engagement EBI for children with autism; 2)
randomized school-based effectiveness trial of autism behavioral EBIs in
public schools; 3) large-scale effectiveness trial of an autism behavioral EBI
in publicly-funded mental health agencies; and 4) prospective, observational
study of multiple EBIs implemented in a large-scale mental health system
reform in which children with autism were served.

158 - Dissecting Comorbidity in ASD: Focus on Inattention,
Hyperactivity and Impulsivity
3:30 PM - 5:30 PM - Room 307
Session Chair: A. Di Martino, NYU Child Study Center, New York, NY
Overwhelming evidence indicates that inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity (I/HI), core characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), are among the most frequent psychiatric comorbidities in Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Such comorbidity further compromises functioning and poses challenges for treatment. Yet, little is known regarding the
mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of ASD and I/HI symptoms. For
example, it remains unclear if I/HI symptoms in ASD stem from distinct
mechanism(s) from those in ADHD and whether assessment and treatment
protocols should be identical. Research aiming to attain such knowledge can
help advance neuroscientific models of ASD heterogeneity. Further, this work
represents a critical step towards identifying individuals at greater risk of I/HI
comorbidity, those more likely to respond to currently available treatments,
and informing treatment development. This panel integrates state-of-the-art
clinical and brain imaging research aimed to provide a nuanced understanding of the overlap of I/HI and ASD. In presenting empirical findings, we will
highlight the processes of identifying clinically meaningful markers able to
‘stratify’ children with ASD and I/HI. The working framework that we will present can inform a range of other efforts addressing sources of heterogeneity in
ASD related to psychiatric comorbidities.

Discussant: J. J. Diehl, LOGAN Community Resources, Inc.,

According to the DSM-5, social communication impairments are one of two
core diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), resulting in
reduced ability to function independently. The goal of this panel is to show
how basic research findings on communication deficits in ASD can improve
the assessment and treatment of these impairments. This panel will present research on several aspects of abnormal communication in ASD, with
particular attention to implications for diagnosis and treatment. One strand of
research will focus on the use of vivo brain imaging techniques to reveal biomarkers of abnormal auditory processing, emotional language comprehension, and temporal gesture-speech integration. The ability of these biomarkers to improve impairment detection, individual stratification, and assessment
of treatment efficacy will be discussed. Another strand of research will
demonstrate the efficacy of a brief, low-cost intervention providing explicit
instruction in prosodic phrasing. The implications of this intervention for theories of impaired communication in ASD will be discussed. A discussant who
conducts research on communication in ASD and advises an organization
providing evidence-based treatments for communication deficits in ASD will
enrich discussion of the translational significance of the research presented
in this panel, ensuring its informativeness for scientists, practitioners, and
stakeholders alike.

160 - The Well-Being and Potential Service Needs of
Siblings of Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder
3:30 PM - 5:30 PM - Room 308
Session Chair: M. Tudor, Stony Brook University, East Setauket, NY
Discussant: D. G. Sukhodolsky, Yale Child Study Center, Yale
As the number of youth with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses
rises (Kim et al., 2011), the number of youth growing up with a brother or sister with ASD also multiplies. Research attempting to characterize these youth
and identify distinctive patterns of their well-being and adjustment has yielded
mixed and sometimes contradictory findings (e.g., Orsmond & Seltzer, 2007).
This literature often examines the presence of a child with ASD in the family
as a sole predictive factor of sibling outcomes, while ignoring other potentially relevant variables (e.g., Hodapp, Glidden, & Kaiser, 2005). This panel
will aim to broaden the lens of sibling outcome research by exploring novel
predictive factors, such as sibling relationships and maternal psychological
functioning, which may inform sibling outcome pathways across families,
rather than identify a singular sibling profile. Findings draw from parent and
sibling-report in various contexts (e.g., across the lifespan, pre- and postintervention groups). Ultimately, this panel will provide a framework for this
“new wave” of sibling research that allows for a more multifaceted approach
to studying both risk and resilience for siblings, as well as providing effective
services for the subset of these youth that may be in need of clinical supports.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) has become a powerful model to study
a range of TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND), including
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific neuropsychological deficits.
Given the success of mTOR inhibitors to treat SEGA (subependymal giant
cell astrocytomas) and renal angiomyolipomas, there has been growing
interest in molecularly-targeted treatments of TAND. However, translation
from animal trials to humans has not been straightforward in other genetic
disorders such as Fragile X and Neurofibromatosis Type 1, in spite of strong
pre-clinical findings. In this panel we will discuss translation from pre-clinical
to clinical trials to consider possible challenges in this effort. Our first presentation will be a recent pre-clinical study of neurocognition and social behavior
in the Tsc2+/- (Eker) rat. Next, we will explore current clinical trials of neurocognition and ASD in TSC and consider what we have learnt along the
way. In the third presentation we will examine executive deficits in normallyintelligent adults with TSC to reflect on neuropsychological profiles and the
impact of different analysis approaches. In our final talk, we will present a
study of resting state EEG as potential biomarker for TSC-associated and
non-syndromal ASD.

Session Chair: J. McPartland, Child Study Center, Yale School of
Discussant: J. McPartland, Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorders
(SZS) are both characterized by atypical social behavior and cognition. Common genetic pathways and neural processes are implicated in both disorders,
but few studies have directly compared clinical populations with ASD and
SZS. For this reasons, shared and distinct characteristics are poorly understood. This panel presents four studies applying complementary methods
at multiple levels of analysis, spanning brain structure to neurophysiology
to psychophysiological assessment of behavior to clinical observation and
self-report. These novel approaches are applied to converge upon functional
processes related to core features of both disorders: social-communication,
gaze perception, neural connectivity, and sensory processing. At the level
of clinical symptomatology, results concord with behaviorally defined diag76
nostic categories. In contrast, measures of specific neural mechanisms and
functional processes indicate significant overlap in ASD and SZS, aligning
with performance at both clinical and subclinical levels rather than diagnostic
taxon. Discovery of shared neural bases of phenomenologically distinct disorders holds promise for understanding specific strengths and vulnerabilities
and offers straightforward clinical implications. Panel discussion focuses on
relevance to a dimensional characterization of neurodevelopmental disorders
and its implications for biomarker development in ASD.

The goal of this SIG for 2016 is to facilitate and increase the presence
of gene-environment interaction studies in ASD. We seek to bring
together researchers from epidemiology, environmental science, genetics,
and neurobiology to brainstorm strategies to facilitate interdisciplinary
collaboration and research progress. Building on the first year of this SIG
(IMFAR 2015), we will use this time to present an overview of statistical
methods and study designs used for gene-environment research. We will
also highlight work in progress in the area of gene-environment interaction
in ASD research with the goals of fostering future collaborative efforts,
increasing the number of studies addressing interaction hypotheses, and
furthering examination of mechanisms in this work. Presentations will come
from experts in statistical methods, animal studies, neurobiology, genetics,
and epidemiology.
SATURDAY – AM
Symptoms of anxiety significantly increase individual impairment and impact
on families and communities. The goal of this SIG is to facilitate integration
of research related to basic physiological mechanisms, measurement
development, and intervention. New themes for this year’s meeting include
discussion of next steps for how to adapt treatment for ASD, characterization
of marked gender differences in anxiety presentations, and how to measure
and treat anxiety in less able individuals with ASD. The SIG will include brief
presentations from young investigators including students and postdocs.
We will then organize smaller groups according to the areas of biological
frameworks, measurement, and treatment. Priority will be to develop
networks for application for relevant research funding, and opportunities for
submission of upcoming papers. Finally we will touch base with the student
network headed by Alana McVey with a presentation on mentoring tips and
a “speed dating” for matching potential mentors with student applicants.
170 - Multiple Risk Factors for ASD: Genetic
Predisposition and Environmental Influences
Recent IMFAR gatherings have emphasized the need
to close the gap between the bench and the community in regard
to autism outcomes. This SIG seeks to create dialogue about what autistic
individuals can bring to the research bench as contributors to design,
analysis and review of potential research. One case example; a study
on autistic women wherein such collaboration enhanced the quality and
outcomes will be shared. This paradigm shift from “for people with autism”
to “with autistic collaboration” is key in order to target, prioritize and expedite
proactive outcomes. We will also discuss making these situations meaningful
for the person with autism, rather than tokenistic or demeaning in nature.
Finally, we will discuss changes needed to insure an accessible and inclusive
workplace for autistic researchers.

173 - “Moving the Needle” with Life Course Research on Autism
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Hall B
Speaker: Paul Shattuck, A.J. Drexel Autism Institute,
There have been many calls to “move the needle” on adult outcomes. What
kinds of research might influence population-level outcomes and build the
“gauges” that will let us see if the adult outcomes needle is moving over
time? A life course perspective on autism has roots in sociology, public
health and ecological models of human development. I will selectively
describe some major tenets from this perspective. Then I will illustrate ways
the AJ Drexel Autism Institute’s Life Course Outcomes research team has
sought to examine specific topics and our attempts to connect research to
policy and practice. Poor young adult outcomes are occurring despite historic
record-setting levels of expenditures on research and interventions. My talk
aims to stimulate discussion about how our field can tighten the linkage
between research and improved outcomes that are observable at
a population level.
174 - Life Course and Ecological Perspectives on Autism
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Hall B
Session Chair: P. Shattuck, A.J. Drexel Autism Institute,
This panel’s purpose is to illustrate a range of types of questions and methods informed by life course and ecological perspectives. In general, these
perspectives emphasize the social context of development and interventions,
how social role attainment and performance intersect with social institutions,
and a longitudinal perspective on individual development that pays particular
attention to transitions and turning points. How life turns out is not solely
a function of one’s behaviors, symptoms and individual abilities. Studies
reported as part of this panel will examine topics including social networks
and the social dynamics of intervention, barriers to positive outcomes during
the transition to adulthood, stigma, and advocacy preparedness as a target
of intervention.

Eye tracking has become a core research methodology for understanding
human development, social cognition, and neuropsychiatric conditions. In
this panel, we follow the next logical evolution of eye tracking in autism
research towards large scale studies that begin to blur the line between
research technique and practical tool. The thematically-linked presentations
in this panel report on new eye tracking findings involving four institutions
and 1,808 unique participants including 696 individuals with ASD. Weaving
between the science enabled by eye tracking and the eye tracking enabled
by methodological advances, the goal of this panel is to provide perspectives
on (1) what eye tracking across large samples tells us about autism, (2) the
potential of eye tracking as a practical tool for discovery, therapeutics, and
phenotyping, and (3) the methodological issues that must be addressed to
enable the next generation of big data studies using eye tracking in autism
research.

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Room 308
Session Chair: E. Stuart, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health,
Baltimore, MD
Discussant: E. Stuart, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health,
Baltimore, MD
Many complexities arise when studying individuals with Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD), including challenges in measuring key constructs as well
as in estimating the effects of exposures or interventions. This panel will
highlight recent advances in statistical methods that are relevant for autism
research. The first talk will discuss measurement challenges and specifically
how to use Item Response Theory to equate ADOS modules 1 and 2, allowing longitudinal analysis across time. The other three talks will discuss various advances in estimating causal effects: innovative randomized designs for
studying adaptive interventions (with three examples of using these designs
to study interventions for children with ASD), clever use of non-experimental
data to estimate the effects of non-randomized exposures (applied to examining the effects of antidepressant use during pregnancy), and the use of propensity scores to equate two groups (applied to examining the associations
between prenatal nutritional supplementation and ASD). Attendees will come
away with a better understanding of advanced statistical methods and how
new methods can help them obtain better answers to more nuanced questions of relevance to autism research.

177 - Understanding Cultural Differences in Diagnostic and
Treatment Services for Children with ASD
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Room 309
Session Chair: J. S. Singh, Georgia Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, GA
Despite the growing prevalence of ASD worldwide, there are disparities to
diagnosis and treatment services especially for racial and ethnic minorities in
the U.S. and low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The purpose of this
panel is to share research on the utility of diagnostic and screening tools for
culturally diverse communities and examine cultural differences in diagnosis
and services in U.S. Latino populations and two LMIC countries, Bangladesh
and South Africa. The panel will consist of four papers and Dr. Diana Robins will serve as the discussant. The first paper examines the processes of
culturally adapting the ADOS-2 and ADI-R in rural Bangladesh and the use
of the Social Communication Questionnaire. The second paper qualitatively
analyzes contextual factors and acceptability of a caregiver-mediated early
ASD intervention in South Africa. The third paper evaluates the utility of
the Spanish ADI-R in distinguishing between ASD and DD in a U.S. based
Latino population. The final paper surveys whether there are ethnic disparities between Latino and White children with ASD in specialty autism-related
services, and whether condition severity moderates the relationship between
ethnicity and receipt of autism services.

178 - Efforts Towards a More Cohesive Understanding of
Anxiety in ASD: Correlates and Underlying Mechanisms
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Room 310
Anxiety is a common co-occurring problem among individuals with ASD.
However, the phenomenology, correlates and mechanisms of anxiety in this
population remain poorly understood. The existing research has identified
executive functioning (Lawson et al., 2015; Lopez, Lincoln, Ozonoff, & Lai,
2005), emotion regulation (White et al., 2014), and dispositional traits (i.e.,
Intolerance of Uncertainty; Boulter et al., 2014; Chamberlain et al., 2013) as
potential correlates of anxiety in ASD. Physiological and fear conditioning
processes (e.g., Chamberlain et al., 2013; South et al., 2011; Kleinhans et
al., 2010) as well as brain circuitry related to anxiety in ASD have also been
explored, though findings have been inconsistent. This panel attempts to
explore several identified contributors to anxiety in ASD in an effort to move
towards a more integrated understanding of neurobiological and psychological processes underlying anxiety in ASD. Panel presentations explore
co-occurring anxiety in ASD in relationship to the following constructs: dimensions of emotion regulation impairment, profiles of executive functioning
difficulties, brain circuitry (i.e., role of prefrontal cortex regions), dispositional
traits (i.e., intolerance of uncertainty), and core ASD deficits. Integration of
study findings, conceptual and methodological limitations and considerations,
and future research directions will be discussed.
