CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) include autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder and pervasive developmental disorder. The manifestations of ASDs can have an important impact on learning and social functioning that may persist during adulthood. The aim here was to summarize the evidence from Cochrane systematic reviews on interventions for ASDs. DESIGN AND SETTING: Review of systematic reviews, conducted within the Discipline of Evidence-Based Medicine, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo. METHODS:We included and summarized the results from Cochrane systematic reviews on interventions for ASDs. RESULTS: Seventeen reviews were included. These found weak evidence of benefits from acupuncture, gluten and casein-free diets, early intensive behavioral interventions, music therapy, parent-mediated early interventions, social skill groups, Theory of Mind cognitive model, aripiprazole, risperidone, tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI); this last only for adults. No benefits were found for sound therapies, chelating agents, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, omega-3, secretin, vitamin B6/ magnesium and SSRI for children. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture, gluten and casein-free diets, early intensive behavioral interventions, music therapy, parent-mediated early interventions, social skill groups and the Theory of Mind cognitive model seem to have benefits for patients with autism spectrum disorders (very low to low-quality evidence). Aripiprazole, risperidone, tricyclic antidepressants and SSRI (this last only for adults) also showed some benefits, although associated with higher risk of adverse events. Experimental studies to confirm a link between probable therapies and the disease, and then high-quality long-term clinical trials, are needed. RESUMO MÉTODOS:Nós incluímos e resumimos os resultados de revisões sistemáticas Cochrane sobre intervenções para TEA. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídas 17 revisões que encontraram evidências fracas de benefícios da acupuntura, dietas isentas de glúten e caseína, intervenção comportamental intensiva precoce, musicoterapia, intervenção precoce mediada pelos pais, grupos de habilidades sociais, modelo cognitivo de Teoria da Mente, aripiprazol, risperidona, antidepressivos tricíclicos, inibidores seletivos da recaptação da serotonina (ISRS); o último apenas para adultos. Nenhum benefício foi encontrado com terapias sonoras, agentes quelantes, oxigenoterapia hiperbárica, ômega-3, secretina, vitamina B6/magnésio e ISRS para crianças. CONCLUSÃO: Acupuntura, dietas sem glúten e caseína, intervenção comportamental intensiva precoce, musicoterapia, intervenção precoce mediada pelos pais, grupos de habilidades sociais e modelo cognitivo de Teoria da Mente parecem ter benefícios para pacientes com TEA (evidência de qualidade muito baixa a baixa). Aripiprazol, risperidona, antidepressivos tricíclicos e ISRS (o último apenas para adultos) também apresentam algum benefício, embora estejam associados a maior risco de event...

Autism is both a medical condition that can give rise to disability and an example of human neurological variation ('neurodiversity') that contributes to identity, with cognitive assets and challenges. We refer to this as the dual nature of autism. Enhancing adaptation and wellbeing is the ultimate goal for intervention/support. Evidence-based support for autistic people across the lifespan is emerging. Support should be collaborative between autistic individuals, their families, and service providers, taking a shared decision-making approach. To maximize the individual's potential, comprehensive early intervention and parent-mediated intervention, ideally taking a naturalistic approach, may help support the early development of adaptive, cognitive and language skills. Key words: autism, support, intervention, treatment, adaptation, development, lifespan, health, disability, neurodiversity OSF preprint first posted online July 19, 2018; https://dx.doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/8z5rv The copyright holders for this preprint (which was not peer-reviewed) are the authors Lai et al. (2018) Evidence-based support for autistic people across the lifespan 3The duality of autism Autism spectrum disorder/conditions (ASD or ASC (Lai and Baron-Cohen, 2015), henceforth 'autism') are atypical neurodevelopmental conditions that emerge early in life (Varcin and Jeste, 2017), with strong genetic aetiologies (Tick et al., 2016) shaped by subsequent gene-environmental interplays (Mandy and Lai, 2016). Autism has lifespan impact on an individual's development and adaptation (Howlin and Magiati, 2017). As a result of evolving diagnostic concepts, recognition of the spectrum and its multi-subgroup nature (Lai et al., 2013), along with increased awareness (Liu et al., 2010), autismformerly regarded as rare -is now considered relatively common. Globally, close to 1% of the population has a formal autism diagnosis (Baxter et al., 2015). In developed countries the prevalence is close to 1·5% (Lyall et al., 2017), with a male:female ratio of 3-4:1 (Loomes et al., 2017).Characteristics associated with autism (ie, 'autistic traits') fall along a spectrum in the general population across dimensions of social-communication, repetitive and stereotyped behaviours, and other non-clinical and cognitive features (Constantino et al., 2010, Ruzich et al., 2015, Skuse et al., 2009. Elevated autistic traits are particularly common in family members of people who have an autism diagnosis (Pickles et al., 2000, Piven et al., 1997, Wheelwright et al., 2010. Both clinical autism and the dimensional traits are associated with the additive effect of common and rare genetic variations (Geschwind and State, 2015, Robinson et al., 2016, Weiner et al., 2017, although their exact causal roles remain unclear.The dimensional nature of autistic traits makes it challenging to draw a clear diagnostic line, especially when genetic or other diagnostic biomarkers are not yet available (Constantino and Charman, 2016). From a medical perspective, a clinical diagnosi...

“…Of the reviews that reported searching a website, 12 (31%) reported searching a type of website (eg, "the websites of relevant charities were searched") without specifying any examples of websites searched, which is insufficient detail for assessing or reproducing the searches, as the relevant websites cannot be identified. Of the 5 reviews that reported search terms or a narrative of how websites were navigated, Xiong et al 49 reported the most detailed narrative, stating that the interventions menu of ResearchAutism.net was browsed and the results under hyperbaric were downloaded. Other reviews stated that browsing was conducted without providing more detail and/or reported search terms.…”

A review of the reporting of web searching to identify studies for Cochrane systematic reviews

The literature searches that are used to identify studies for inclusion in a systematic review should be comprehensively reported. This ensures that the literature searches are transparent and reproducible, which is important for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of a systematic review and re-running the literature searches when conducting an update review. Web searching using search engines and the websites of topically relevant organisations is sometimes used as a supplementary literature search method. Previous research has shown that the reporting of web searching in systematic reviews often lacks important details and is thus not transparent or reproducible. Useful details to report about web searching include the name of the search engine or website, the URL, the date searched, the search strategy, and the number of results. This study reviews the reporting of web searching to identify studies for Cochrane systematic reviews published in the 6-month period August 2016 to January 2017 (n = 423). Of these reviews, 61 reviews reported using web searching using a search engine or website as a literature search method. In the majority of reviews, the reporting of web searching was found to lack essential detail for ensuring transparency and reproducibility, such as the search terms. Recommendations are made on how to improve the reporting of web searching in Cochrane systematic reviews.
