Advances in Autism Research: Series II

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have significantly increased. According to the DSM-V, ASD are a heterogeneous set of neurodevelopmental disorders characterised by deficits in social communications and interaction, plus the presence of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours.

This Special Issue of Brain Sciences, titled 'Advances in Autism Research: Series II', which is the second edition of 'Advances in Autism Research', aims to present a collection of studies detailing the most recent advancements in the field of autism research. Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge research and reviews that address a broad range of topics related to ASD including the following: epidemiology, screening, early diagnosis, evidence-based intervention, comorbidities, new technologies (e.g., eye-tracking, EEG, ECG, MR, wearable sensors, VR, robotic research), adaptive behaviours, sensory profiles, language, cognitive priors, biomarkers, study protocol, ethical and legal issues related to ASD, autism and health, and the transition to adulthood. In particular, we aim to present advances in autism research that may have a significant translational effect on the field of clinical services.

We invite you read the Special Issue "Advances in Autism Research" at mdpi.com/si/34051
