Irritability is also a common problem in autism that is poorly defined and requires a multi-modal approach to care. Finally, there is a need to increase awareness of the double burden of patients with autism and racial, ethnic, linguistic, or social disadvantage who suffer delays in assessment and treatment. This course aims to help clinicians better identify and treat these challenging aspects of autism. Sponsored by Cambridge Health Alliance & Harvard Medical School.
