“Biomarkers of Arousal and Regulation in Autism”
Autism is associated with unconventional responses to stress and challenge. This talk will describe psychophysiological and observational approaches to studying arousal and regulation in autism. The presentation will utilize a developmental approach, reviewing data from infancy to childhood. It will also contrast two uses of these types of measures in autism research: first to distinguish autism from non-autistic populations and second to stratify individuals within category of autism. These approaches have distinct implications for translating research to future potential clinical applications.
