中文简介

自闭症谱系障碍研究（RASD）发表高质量的实证文章和评论，有助于更好地理解各级描述的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）;遗传，神经生物学，认知和行为。该期刊的主要重点是弥合这些级别的基础研究与ASD患者及其家人以及护理人员，教育工作者和临床医生所面临的实际问题和困难之间的差距。此外，该期刊还鼓励就该领域尚未研究的主题提交意见书。我们对于所有患有ASD的人中一半的重要语言和一般智力障碍的原因和后果知之甚少。我们对ASD女性所面临的挑战知之甚少，而且随着年龄的增长，ASD患者的需求也越来越少。医学和心理共病以及它们为ASD的诊断和治疗带来的并发症是另一个相对较少研究的领域。在RASD，我们致力于促进对所有这些问题的高质量和严谨的研究，我们期待收到许多优秀的提交。

英文简介

Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders (RASD) publishes high quality empirical articles and reviews that contribute to a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at all levels of description; genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral. The primary focus of the journal is to bridge the gap between basic research at these levels, and the practical questions and difficulties that are faced by individuals with ASD and their families, as well as carers, educators and clinicians. In addition, the journal encourages submissions on topics that remain under-researched in the field. We know shamefully little about the causes and consequences of the significant language and general intellectual impairments that characterize half of all individuals with ASD. We know even less about the challenges that women with ASD face and less still about the needs of individuals with ASD as they grow older. Medical and psychological co-morbidities and the complications they bring with them for the diagnosis and treatment of ASD represents another area of relatively little research. At RASD we are committed to promoting high-quality and rigorous research on all of these issues, and we look forward to receiving many excellent submissions.
