Ames, Catherine; Fletcher-Watson, Sue – Developmental Review, 2010
Atypical attention, while not a diagnostic feature, is common in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The study of these atypicalities has recently gained in both quantity and quality, due in part to an increased focus on attentional atypicalities as one of the earliest signs of ASD in infancy. A range of attentional processes and…

G.; Newcorn, Jeffrey H.; Severe, Joanne B.; Wigal, Timothy – Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2007
Objective: To evaluate two hypotheses: that self-selection bias contributed to lack of medication advantage at the 36-month assessment of the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children With ADHD (MTA) and that overall improvement over time obscured treatment effects in subgroups with different outcome trajectories. Method: Propensity score analyses,…

The acts of diagnosis described in this paper aid in the determination of relevant, material, and consequential factors in a clinical study. These acts, which are not necessarily sequential, are identification, assumption, rejection, acceptance, discovery, explanation, prediction, and verification. The clinician with this model in mind will be…
