IMFAR WELCOME
Welcome to Atlanta! We are very excited to have IMFAR here this year as it signifies the culmination of a citywide
commitment to making autism research a priority in our community. To host investigators from over 30 countries
showcasing the very best in the field is both an honor and a privilege. This is the largest IMFAR to date. This
demonstrates the growing maturity of the autism research community, which now pervades an ever-increasing
number of scientific disciplines and methods. Many people contributed to making the facilities and the
infrastructure match the importance of the event. Having our reception at the amazing Georgia Aquarium will add
size and beauty to our festivities, and there will be some truly talented entertainers you will not want to miss!
There is a wonderful program planned for you. The scientific Program Committee reviewed a record number of
abstracts, and under the leadership of Joseph Piven and Laura Klinger, has planned what is sure to be an
outstanding meeting. The keynote speakers will excite and inspire with new information and perspectives from
research into autism and related fields of study. The Educational and Scientific Panel sessions cover diverse topics
and integrate basic and clinical sciences; the Oral Sessions promise to be superb; and the format of the Poster
Sessions will provide more opportunities for networking than before. Other highlights will include the Special
Interest Group meetings, the Meet the Experts luncheon for trainees, and the popular Technology Poster Session
and exhibits. The Lifetime Achievement Award and Advocate Award presentations are sure to be memorable.
This years meeting would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of many special people. I would like to
acknowledge and express my deepest thanks to the INSAR Board for their support and guidance, as well as to the
Scientific Program Committee and the many abstract reviewers who have striven to ensure the excellence of the
science presented at IMFAR. My special gratitude goes to Joe Dymek of ConferenceDirect, and to Don Mueller
from the Marcus Autism Center, whose invaluable assistance throughout the planning process was instrumental in
making this meeting a success, and the reception a true celebration, respectively.
I also thank the members of the Local Meeting Planning Committee for their many contributions, including their
inspired and tireless efforts in planning and executing a superlative, fully inclusive and free stakeholder
preconference.

Once again, welcome to Atlanta and enjoy every minute of your time here.
Ami Klin
IMFAR Meeting Chair
IMFAR is the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR)
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Over 1,700 abstracts were submitted this year with a final program of more than 1,000 presentations. The
abstract submission and review system was changed substantially. Each abstract was read by three reviewers
with expertise in the topic in which they were submitted. We had 18 Topic Chairpersons who provided oversight to
reviewers and made recommendations to the Program Committee. Final acceptances for this years program were
based both on reviewer ratings and the aim to have a well-rounded program that included all 18 topic areas. In
some cases, in order to fill out the program, we made the decision to move some presentations from Panels that
were not accepted to Oral Sessions. With such a terrific pool of abstracts, there were many high quality papers
that were not accepted this year.
WELCOME
Seventy years after Leo Kanner described the diagnosis of autism, we arrive in Atlanta amidst some amazing new
science on this disorder. This years conference explores Autism Spectrum Disorder from infancy to older
adulthood, research topics ranging from cells to services, and includes international research from Atlanta to
Addis Ababa.
In addition to changes in the review process, several changes were made to promote opportunities for scientific
discussion. We expanded the footprint of scientific panels and added both a discussant and a period of time to
broaden opportunities for conversation by those attending the session. Second, we shifted the posters to either
an evening social / science hour or a lunch / science hour. It is our hope that this informal setting will promote an
exchange of ideas. Every attempt was made to minimize the simultaneous presentation of information within the
same topic area (i.e., Poster Sessions and Oral Sessions on the same topic are, to the extent possible, scheduled
at different times).
Keynote presenters were chosen with an eye toward cutting-edge research that can bring new perspectives to our
understanding of autism. Professor Declan Murphy will provide the first keynote on approaches to rapidly move
forward the translational research agenda to develop effective pharmacologic treatment for ASD. Dr. Marsha
Mailick will take a longitudinal view, providing some of the fields first insights into ASD across the adult lifespan.
Dr. John Colombo will examine the typical and atypical development of attention in infancy to highlight the
importance of early mechanisms in the unfolding of ASD.
This years conference could not have been created without the dedication of our reviewers, Topic Chairpersons,
and Program Committee. We are greatly indebted to them for their incredible commitment to this conference. We
thank the INSAR Board for their input and oversight into the changes for this years conference. We are
particularly appreciative of the current (Francesca Happ) and past (Helen Tager-Flusberg) presidents of the
Society for their guidance. Last, we wish to thank our terrific support professionals: Jennifer Gentry who was the
organizing force behind the conference, Josh Andrews, the computer programmer who magically created an
interface between the submission and review system and the reviewers, and Joe Dymek who organized all the
onsite activities for the conference.
We are excited about this years program and anticipate a great meeting. Fingers are crossed that this years
winter will finally end and we wont experience snow in Atlanta in May.

PRESIDENTS WELCOME
It is a huge pleasure and privilege to welcome you to IMFAR 2014 in Atlanta; South of the North, yet north of the
South . . . the City of a Hundred Hills (W.E.B. DuBois, 1903). This is my first IMFAR as president of the
International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), and I have been so impressed by the hard work and insight of
all who work behind the scenes to make the Society and this meeting such a success.
The preparation for this meeting began well before I took over the presidency; indeed, until recently, the Board has
been busy deciding the destinations for IMFAR 2016 and 2017 (Baltimore and San Francisco, respectively). We
have confirmed Meeting Chairs (William McMahon and Rebecca Landa) and Program Co-Chairs (Sally Ozonoff and
Jacqueline Crawley; Daniele Fallin and Stewart Mostofsky) for the 2015 and 2016 meetings (Salt Lake City and
Baltimore, respectively) future meetings. So we have Helen Tager-Flusberg and the previous Board of INSAR to
thank for choosing the fabulous destination of Atlanta, and the wonderful Chairpersons for this meeting.
I would like to thank Ami Klin for all his hard work as Meeting Chair, organizing the pre-meeting conference for local
stakeholders, local involvement and opening reception. I suspect IMFAR 2014 may be remembered as the year of
the IMFAR Aquarium reception and, of course, of wonderful science!
The Program Co-Chairs, Joe Piven and Laura Grofer Klinger have put together a fantastic scientific agenda. I am
also very grateful for their skilful work reorganizing and rationalizing the abstract submission and review process.
We are lucky that Laura is also a Board member (Past Treasurer), and the Program Chairs have taken very
seriously INSARs mission of Setting the Bar[to] promote and enhance the highest quality research at our
annual meeting. The standard for acceptance has been raised, and there will be more themed panels of talks than
in previous meetings. Laura and Joe have also endeavoured to give special prominence to the Poster Sessions,
avoiding clashes with Oral Sessions and putting on refreshments for the early evening Poster Sessions. Do come
and see all the posters at lunchtime and after the Oral Sessions!
Another highlight not to be missed is the presentations by the INSAR Award winners. Every year at IMFAR it is our
pleasure to honor people at all stages of their careers in autism research. The Lifetime Achievement Award honors
a researcher who has made an enormous contribution to the field over their many working years. Dont miss the
opportunity to hear Fred Volkmars acceptance speech; we all have so much to learn from those who were pioneers
in researching autism. Peter Bell, recipient of this years Advocate Award, will also have unique insights to offer in
his speech, as parent, advocate and leading non-profit executive. We will also celebrate the achievements of early
career scientists with our Dissertation and Young Investigator Awards, and the Slifka / Ritvo Innovation in Autism
Research Awards.
I must thank the wonderful Board of INSAR. I cannot imagine a better group to work with, and together we are
moving forward on new initiatives for our training and global reach missions. This year we have initiated a
preconference workshop for early career researchers, focusing for 2014 on grants and funding. David Mandell and
the Student Committee are also working hard on plans for a new INSAR virtual Summer Institute. We are
increasing our global reach by introducing very low rates for low / middle-income countries, increasing Travel
Awards, and planning for international satellite meetings and a new initiative to host global open-access autism
research tools.
Finally, the Board of INSAR is supported by tremendously hard-working and talented volunteers in all our
committees, and by the fantastic Jennifer Gentry and her colleagues from Association Resources and wonderful
Joe Dymek and Jennifer Marshall from Conference Direct. It is thanks to them that IMFAR runs so smoothly.
I believe I am the first non-North American President of INSAR, so please make a shy Brit feel at home in Atlanta,
and come and tell me how we can make this meeting and your Society even better!
Francesca Happ, Ph.D.

President of INSAR

The INSAR Cultural Diversity Committee is pleased to announce this workshop: Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Identity in Autism Research and Practice: What is the Relevance?
The workshop will begin with a discussion led by Richard Grinker about how these terms have been conceptualized and used in related fields, and what we may learn
from this. Participants will then meet in small workgroups to discuss race and ethnicity in the context of their own countries and work, and how these concepts relate to
research and practice in the field of ASD. The preconference workshop will form the basis of a paper that incorporates both the theoretical and research aspects
of race and ethnicity in the field of ASD.

Dr. Colombos research interests are in the developmental cognitive neuroscience of attention and learning, with a special focus
on early individual differences and how they relate to the typical and atypical development of cognitive and intellectual function.
He conducts basic research on the development of attention in infancy and early childhood at laboratories located in suburban
Kansas City at the KU Edwards Campus and in collaboration with colleagues at the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics he
conducts clinical trials on the effects of nutritional supplementation on developmental/cognitive outcomes at the KU Medical
Center. Finally, he collaborates with colleagues on the search for early biobehavioral markers for autism at the Wakarusa
Research Facility in Lawrence. He trains students through a number of interdisciplinary programs, including the Developmental or
Cognitive doctoral areas in the Department of Psychology, the Child Language Doctoral Program, and the Clinical Child
Psychology doctoral program.
Dr. Colombo is the current editor of Infancy, and is a past Associate Editor (2007-2013) for Child Development. He is a Fellow in
the American Psychological Association (Division 7: Developmental Psychology), a charter member and fellow in the Association
for Psychological Science, and a member of the Psychonomic Society. A list of his publications (with many links to .pdf copies)
can be obtained at his home page at ResearchGate.
Marsha R. Mailick, Ph.D.

Dr. Marsha R. Mailick is the Director of the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). She received
her Ph.D. in social policy from Brandeis University and became an associate professor at Boston University before joining UWMadison. She is the principal investigator of the Waisman Center's Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Core Grant,
awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The focus of Dr. Mailicks research is on the life
course trajectory of developmental disabilities. She is interested in how the behavioral phenotype of specific developmental
disabilities, including autism, fragile X syndrome, and Down syndrome, changes during adolescence, adulthood, and old age. In
addition, she studies how the family environment affects the development of individuals with disabilities during these stages of life,
and reciprocally how parents and siblings of individuals with disabilities are affected. Her current research includes three projects:
a 14-year longitudinal study of autism during adolescence and adulthood, research on a demographically-representative sample
of parents of individuals with developmental disabilities, and a study of family adaptation to fragile X syndrome (FXS). She
recently completed an epidemiological study of the premutation of FXS and a 20-year follow-up of a cohort of older adults with
Down syndrome, examining how the family environment shapes outcomes in midlife and old age. Together, these studies offer
specific insights about developmental disabilities across the life course, and the impact on families.
Professor Declan Murphy

Professor Murphy is the Mortimer D. Sackler Professor of Translational Neurodevelopment, and Director of the Sackler Institute of
Translational Neurodevelopment, Institute of Psychiatry (IOP), Kings College London. He is also Head of Department of Forensic
and Neurodevelopmental Sciences (IOP), and Director of the Behavioural and Developmental Psychiatry Clinical Academic
Group, Kings Health Partners, Kings College London. In the latter role, his team delivers both Local and National services for
people with autism.
His overarching mission is to translate research from bench to bedside and develop new diagnostic approaches and treatments.
The research work undertaken in his laboratory currently ranges from using stem cells and animal models to neuropsychological
studies and neuroimaging, clinical trials (including behavioral interventions) and Health Services research.
Professor Murphy completed his undergraduate training in Medicine at University College (London) and his postgraduate training
in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital and IOP (London). His research training was first at the IOP and then at NIH (Bethesda).
He returned from NIH to the UK in order to establish a translational research program in neurodevelopment.
In autism, Professor Murphy, together with colleagues in Oxford and Cambridge, established the MRC UK AIMS multicenter
imaging network the first in Europe. He also leads an NIHR-funded program grant on the health and service needs of
individuals with autism as they transition from childhood to adulthood. Additionally, he leads the European Union Innovative
Medicines Initiative in autism (EU-AIMS http://www.eu-aims.eu/). This is a novel collaboration between organizations representing
affected individuals and their families (Autism Speaks), academia (14 academic centers) and Industry, who for the first time in the
world, have come together to develop the infrastructure underpinning the discovery of new treatments for autism.

This talk will be to address; 1) why effective new treatments for ASD are so hard
to find; 2) what needs to be done scientifically to fix the problem; 3) how new
translational neuroscience approaches can be harnessed to facilitate more
rapid progress, but 4) this will require meaningful collaborations with affected
individuals, industry, and the regulatory authorities together with major new
international trials networks that test novel treatments in more biologically
homogeneous cohorts.

Session Chair: J. R. Pruett; Washington University School of Medicine
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is strongly suspected to involve altered
developmental trajectories for structural and functional brain organization.
Prospective infant sibling studies have brought increased focus on examinations
of these potential changes in the first years of life, including prior to symptom
expression. ASD researchers and providers need to be knowledgeable about
basic aspects of infant brain development to be the most effective consumers of
emerging scientific information about ASD. This panel will provide the nonneuroscientist and non-neuroimager with basic information about infant brain
development and essential scientific methods used for interrogating it.
Presentations will cover cellular processes, milestones of pre- and postnatal
brain development, genetic and experiential effects on these processes,
fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging studies of the developing infant
brain, developmental factors that influence trajectories for change in brain
morphometry, and basic findings from brain imaging studies in infancy. Increased
knowledge of infant brain development and the methods used for studies of brain
changes in the first years of life will better enable ASD researchers and providers
to assess emerging information about potential brain-based contributions to ASD
in the first years of life.

112 - Early Biomarkers and Endophenotypes of ASD:
From Processes to Prognosis
Session Chair: K. Pierce; University of California, San Diego, CA
Biomarker discovery in medicine is foundational to advancing knowledge and
developing beneficial clinical applications. Autism is a strongly genetic
disorder, and as such, research on endophenotypes, a special case of
biomarkers, is an especially important avenue to identification of genetic
factors underlying neural and clinical manifestations. However, biomarker
discovery is at an early stage because of the challenges in studying the
disorder in the first years of life, its changing phenotypic nature as early
development progresses, and its multidimensional genomic, biological and
behavioral character. Nonetheless, as presented and discussed in this panel,
new research studies using innovative systems biology, imaging and clinical
methodologies, have been successful in illuminating genomic and neural
developmental bases of the disorder, explicating the neurofunctional bases of
important aspects of clinical heterogeneity, identifying endophenotypes and
uncovering potential diagnostic and prognostic signatures in at risk infants
and toddlers. Discussion will address the pivotal role played by early
biomarkers in general and endophenotypes in particular in clarifying
mechanisms and processes, phenotypic heterogeneity, neural and clinical
developmental trajectories. Discussion will consider early biomarkers as
standing at a crucial crossroad pointing backward to earlier developmental
processes, states or events, including potential etiological ones, and forward
insofar as they explain unfolding development and serve as diagnostic and
prognostic risk predictors.

There is a dearth of autism research on the African continent; this scientific

panel session aims to highlight recent research progress addressing this
gap. The panel includes scientific presentations from two sub-Saharan
African countries, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative
methodologies and reporting on both urban and rural African populations.
Altogether, the findings from these studies highlight the major barriers to
appropriate support for families of children with autism in Africa (including the
severe shortage of diagnostic and educational services, lack of awareness
about autism and its causes, and high levels of stigma), and report on a
promising scalable model that can help tackle these problems by training
frontline community-based health extension workers. The challenges and
opportunities discussed in these presentations apply not just to the countries
under study, but have relevance for the entire African continent and
low/middle income countries elsewhere. During the panel discussion these
common themes will be reviewed and priority areas for future research and
opportunities for intervention will be highlighted, in order to facilitate future
autism research, advocacy and capacity building efforts.

Research in Developmental Disabilities
In the 1970s the psychiatric community took a bold step in creating the
DSM-3, which for the first time provided standardized and reliable criteria for
psychiatric diagnoses. Despite being an important improvement, it also
created new problems. The diagnoses were created by consensus of
committees rather than from data-driven evidence to ensure external validity.
The framers warned that these diagnoses were way stations until better
scientifically-based diagnoses could be made. Categories had unclear
boundaries with other disorders and with normality. These categories,
(which did not carve nature at its joints), created the new concept of
comorbidities. It is the rare patient who has only one diagnosis. The
categorical diagnoses are poor at prognosis and treatment guidance and
have a wide range of heterogeneity in their presentations. Despite these
problems, the diagnoses have been reified and the failure to use these
categories imposes severe restrictions and often skews the research that is
done. In this symposium we intend to examine the diagnosis of DSM autism
in light of the problems enumerated above, using evidence from clinical,
genetic and brain circuit studies. We also will review some of the proposed
alternatives to the categorical diagnoses, with special attention to the NIMHs
RDoCs.

In this brief presentation I'd like to thank my teachers and students (who often
have been my teachers) and colleagues before summarizing changes I've
witnessed over the past three decades in our understanding of autism.
Knowledge has increased both in terms of our understanding of autism as a
brain based social disability and in treatment approaches that facilitate outcome.
Areas where knowledge remains limited and important targets for future work
will be summarized as will be the importance of integrating research knowledge
with clinical work.
Many individuals with ASD struggle to understand emotions and experience

clinically significant anxiety, but little is known about the developmental
origins of these difficulties. Here, we present data suggesting that both
problems stem from atypical integration of cognitive and arousal responses
to emotional situations. During development, infants learn to make
appropriate cognitive interpretations of arousal states through social
interaction. In ASD, we propose that early delays in face processing and
atypical arousal responses compromise this developmental process, leading
to persistent problems with emotional understanding and anxiety. Specifically,
Jones and Wagner show that atypicalities in cognitive and arousal responses
to emotion faces are present in infants at high-risk for ASD, that these
atypicalities jointly relate to temperamental fear, and to later socialcommunicative deficits and early autism classification. Webb shows that
children with ASD who display atypical electrophysiological responses to
emotion faces at age 3 may be at risk for clinically significant anxiety by age
15. Finally, Gaigg demonstrates that anxiety and emotion understanding are
strongly related in adults with ASD, and are underpinned by difficulties in
cognitive appraisal of own arousal state. Taken together, these talks support
a common developmental route to emotion processing difficulties and anxiety
in ASD.

Session Chairs: Dr. Laurie Sperry, Dr. Gary Mesibov, Dr. Todd Milford,
Dr. Philip ODonnell
Room A703
Our research group has worked collaboratively for two years and brings
together scholars from the divergent fields of autism, forensic and clinical
psychology, criminology, law, and education. Our focus is on the potential
factors that predict increased risk for offending in people with ASD and
management strategies to moderate those risks.

Session Chairs: Dr. David Nicholas, University of Calgary, Canada;
Dr. Lonnie Zwaigenbaum, University of Alberta, Canada
Room A707
Aims (1) To continue to facilitate networking for substantive priority planning
and research development (2) To work toward specific research plans and
galvanization of international networks for addressing gaps and opportunities
for transitional and vocational research in ASD.

Helen Pain
Room A704
Technology and Autism: developing a framework for best practice in design,
development, evaluation and dissemination of autism-specific technologies.
The main issues raised at the 2013 SIG were: 1. the difficulty of appraising
the volume and variety of technologies available for people with autism; 2.
the lack of guidance for families and practitioners on how to use it; 3. the
need for stronger research methodologies; 4. the need to share both data
and technologies between researchers.
129 - Global Knowledge Translation for Research on Early Identification
and Intervention in Autism
Session Chairs: Mayada Elsabbagh and Petrus de Vries
Room A706
There is increasing appreciation of the need to enhance research impact
through the iterative and dynamic process of knowledge translation: The
synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application of knowledge to improve
quality of life for people affected by autism. This SIG will continue the
dialogue on identifying knowledge gaps, barriers, and action priorities with a
particular emphasis on global knowledge translation in the area of early
identification and intervention for autism. The theme of this years activities
will be To intervene or not to intervene: Effective and ethically sound
application of evidence-based intervention models in diverse settings.

Speaker: Marsha R. Mailick; Waisman Center, University of
How does the behavioral phenotype of autism spectrum disorders change from
childhood to adolescence, and into adulthood and midlife? What is the life
course trajectory of independent living skills, autism symptoms, and behavior
problems? What changes occur when youth with autism leave high school and
enter the adult world? What factors are predictive of successful employment?
How does the family environment influence the developmental trajectory and
how is the family environment influenced by having an adolescent or adult
family member with an autism diagnosis? This presentation will address these
questions using data from our 14-year longitudinal study of autism across the
life course. The research is based on a community sample of the families of
406 individuals with autism who were between the ages of 10 and 52 when
they were recruited at the start of the study and who subsequently participated
in ten sequential points of data collection. Thus, we have assembled a rich
resource with which to chart the life course development of autism and the
bi-directional individual-family processes.

Scientific Panel
143 - Hyper or Hypo? Towards an Integrative Model
of Network Connectivity in ASD
Session Chair: R. A. Mller; Dept. of Psychology,
San Diego State University
The functional connectivity literature on ASD has grown exponentially in the
past decade, but initial consensus on general underconnectivity has been
undermined by conflicting results and the growing awareness of
methodological issues (e.g., head movement, spontaneous vs. task-driven
signal fluctuations) that may have dramatic effects on findings. This panel is
motivated by the need for a more nuanced and developmental understanding
of functional connectivity and aims to present perspectives for a
comprehensive model of network abnormalities in ASD that may reconcile
the vast array of diverse and often seemingly inconsistent findings.
Presentations in this panel will attempt to elucidate (i) how and why MRI
findings (functional connectivity, DTI) have been divergent, (ii) how different
analytic approaches can provide a comprehensive view of aberrant functional
connectivity, (iii) how multimodal approaches, including electrophysiological
techniques such as MEG, can contribute to more differentiated models of
network abnormalities in ASD, and (iv) how differential findings may be
reconciled in network-specific models that relate to core symptomatology.
SMART are new to autism researchers. The overarching aim of this

methodology-oriented educational panel is to (a) provide an introduction on
the application of adaptive interventions and SMART in autism treatment and
research, respectively, and (b) encourage a discussion on how adaptive
interventions and SMART can be used to address complex ASDs for which
there is wide treatment effect heterogeneity, or for which there is an array of
effective treatments, some of which may be costly or burdensome.

144 - Getting SMART about Combating Autism with
Adaptive Interventions: Novel Treatment and
Research Methods for Individualizing Treatment
Session Chair: D. Almirall; University of Michigan
The effective treatment of a wide variety of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
often requires an individualized (personalized), sequential approach to
treatment, whereby treatment is dynamically adapted over time based on the
individuals changing course. Adaptive interventions operationalize this type
of individualized, sequential, decision making via a set of decision rules that
specify whether, how, for whom, or when to alter the dosage, type or delivery
of behavioral or pharmacological strategies in the treatment of autism.
Adaptive interventions can be used as a guide for clinical practice. Recently,
sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMART), a type of study
design, were developed explicitly for the purpose of developing and
optimizing adaptive interventions. However, adaptive interventions and

Infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders are at increased

risk for developing the disorder, and, even when unaffected, often show early
signs consistent with ASD symptoms. Tracking early development in infant
siblings of children with ASD can help with identifying early precursors to the
development of ASD. Researchers who have been following children with
ASD have noted that some children who show early signs associated with
ASD later show patterns more consistent with typical development. An
important, but often overlooked research question is what factors protect
infants at risk from developing ASD. The talks in the proposed symposium
describe studies of children who show trajectories of development that are
consistent with resilient development. The presentations using converging
methods including eye tracking and behavioral assessments to show
patterns of improving trajectory and lessening symptoms in a subset of
children who show early characteristics of ASD. Presentations will also
discuss possible mechanisms for resilience, including early infant-caregiver
interactions and looking behavior. We will also discuss implications of
resilience for developing early intervention and prevention strategies.

146 - Phenomenology and Impact of Internalizing
Symptoms in ASD Across the Lifespan
Internalizing comorbidity in the ASD population has received increasing

attention due to its observed prevalence and clinical reports of associated
impairment, however its exact relation to and impact within ASD are unclear.
In this panel, we elucidate the phenomenology of anxiety and depressive
symptoms in ASD using well-characterized samples spanning early schoolage to mid-adulthood. Data on internalizing comorbidity patterns will be
presented from a developmental perspective, and with particular emphasis
on disentangling whether these symptoms are consistent with the ASD
phenotype versus separable and additive. Measurement of comorbid
internalizing symptoms is considered across raters and using novel
methodology (e.g., eye-tracking). Finally, we will present cutting-edge
findings on the impact and outcome of affective distress in ASD from a
variety of perspectives. We take a transdiagnostic approach to both
internalizing symptoms (focusing on emotional distress and symptom ratings
rather than categorical disorders), and to their potential mechanisms (e.g.,
gaze patterns and emotion regulation ratings are compared across ASD and
typical controls). Discussion will focus on methodological considerations
associated with psychiatric comorbidity patterns in ASD, and specifically on
designing clinical research that is sensitive to transdiagnostic issues and
employs state of the art and novel measurement of internalizing symptoms
across the lifespan.

Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of IGF-1 and related
compounds to restore biological deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders
associated with autism and intellectual disability, including Rett, Fragile X,
and Phelan-McDermid Syndromes. Although, these disorders are caused by
different genetic abnormalities, the ameliorative effects of IGF-1 and
IGF-1(1-3) suggest the presence of common rescue pathways. In this
session, we bring together individuals with diverse expertise that are studying
cellular, molecular and behavioral phenotypes associated with Rett, Fragile X
and Phelan-McDermid Syndromes, using animal and human models. The
participants discuss the relevant mechanisms of action and perspectives on
using IGF1 and its analogs as novel therapeutic agents for patients with

149 - Towards an Integrated Neurocognitive Account
of Local Versus Global Visual Processing in Autism
Spectrum Disorders
Session Chair: B. Boets; KU Leuven
Atypical visual processing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), such as
superior processing of local details or substandard processing of global
structures, has been investigated repeatedly, but research findings vary
widely and are often contradictory. Here, we present a collection of
behavioural and neuroimaging studies that investigate various levels of visual
processing in individuals with ASD and well-matched typically developing
(TD) controls. In particular, we aim to get a better understanding of the
interrelation between local versus global visual processing, either by applying
paradigms that try to disentangle the relative contribution of both types of
processing or by applying paradigms that investigate the interplay between
bottom-up and top-down processing. Findings generally indicate subtle group
differences between individuals with ASD and TD individuals, which strongly
depend on task-demands and stimulus characteristics. In line with the
literature, this series of studies reveals a mixed pattern of results, ranging
from evidence for a more locally oriented processing style and impaired

global processing, towards intact and even enhanced global integration
capacities in ASD. It is concluded that atypical visual processing cannot
currently provide us with a reliable endophenotype for ASD.

150 - Early Atypical Growth Patterns in ASD:
Evidence from Behavioral, Neuroimaging, and
Neurobiological Studies
Session Chair: K. Chawarska; Yale University School of Medicine
Brain over-growth in infancy is one of the best-replicated imaging findings in
ASD. Considering the high correlation between HC and total brain volume,
particularly in infancy, atypical HC trajectory may also provide a proxy for
abnormal brain development during infancy. Even though early brain growth
and, more generally, early somatic overgrowth is well-recognized in ASD, the
underlying biological mechanisms and relationships to the etiology of ASD
remain poorly understood. The proposed symposium will address a number
of key questions regarding early overgrowth in ASD, including its prevalence
and effects of gender on growth patterns, evidence from neuroimaging
studies of infant siblings of children with ASD, animal models of autism risk
factors, as well as studies modeling neuronal growth using induced
pluripotent stem cells.

151 - Active Ingredients and Therapeutic Processes
in Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders
Session Chair: M. D. Lerner; Stony Brook University
Research on treatments for social deficits in autism spectrum disorders
(ASD) has recently proliferated, leading to identification of interventions
considered empirically-supported (Rogers & Vismara, 2008; Reichow &
Volkmar, 2010). However, few studies have yet addressed the nuanced
questions of why and how does it work, for whom, under what conditions"
(Kazdin, 2007). This has been identified as a crucial priority (e.g., Lerner, et
al., 2012; Maglione et al., 2012), as identification of active ingredients and
therapeutic mechanisms is essential to achieving the goal of optimized
evidence-based therapies. There currently exist a wide array of
methodological and statistical approaches to uncovering processes
responsible for change in interventions. In this panel, we will introduce and
describe several different approaches with unique applications to
disentangling therapeutic processes across childhood. To achieve
coordinated teaching across research groups, cutting edge treatment data
will be used to elucidate both how given process variables relate to discrete
outcomes, and what they may reflect about general process analysis
principles. Key factors such as parental involvement, operative therapist
behaviors, conceptual and manual fidelity, and knowledge- versus
performance-training strategies will be presented, with an integrative
discussion aimed at highlighting the utility and accessibility of studying
therapeutic processes in ASD.

152 - Drug Development in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Session Chair: L. Scahill; Marcus Institute, Emory University
Two medications, risperidone and aripiprazole, are approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of irritability in children age 5
to 17 with DSM-IV autistic disorder. There are no approved medications for
social disability or repetitive behavior in autism specifically or autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) more broadly. Over the past decade several genes
have been identified that dramatically increase the risk of ASD. Identified
genes include those causing monogenic disorders (e.g., Fragile X,
neurofibromatosis), as well as rare mutations and de novo mutations. These
genetic abnormalities may affect the structure and function of
neurotransmitter receptors, the intracellular function of neurons, development
of neural networks and signaling between neurons among other
neurobiological functions. As more is learned about the function of the genes
that contribute to the etiology of autism, there is expanding potential for drug
development. This scientific panel will present a series of talks outlining the
central issues facing drug development in ASD: the role of pilot studies,
compound selection, the importance of biomarkers and ethical considerations
for studies involving developmentally disabled individuals.

The male-bias in the prevalence of autism has two major implications for
understanding the emergence of autism. First, studies into mechanisms
associated with the development of typical sexual differentiation may provide
insight into the etiologies and development of autism. Second, identifying
similarities and differences between males and females with autism can inform
us about shared characteristics and mechanisms central to the emergence of
autism, as well as sex-specific and/or sex-linked characteristics, etiological
mechanisms, susceptibility and protective factors. This Scientific Panel brings
together research from four different groups addressing these two inter-linked

165 - The Development of Attention: Implications for
Early Identification
162 - Autism Social, Legal and Ethical Research

Session Chairs: Liz Pellicano, Ph.D., Institute of Education, Univ. of London;
Michael Yudell, Ph.D., Drexel Univ. School of Public Health;
Bryna Siegel, Ph.D., Autism Center of N. Calif. & UCSF
Room A706
Political and Ethical Considerations in Autism Research and Treatment. The
third year of this SIG will explore social, ethical and legal issues concerning
autism research and treatment, particularly how these impact the needs of
less able individuals who are or will soon become adults. Speakers will
include:
Dr. Bryna Siegel, Dr. Deborah Barnbaum, Dr. Carolyn Klebanoff and
John Elder Robison will act as Discussants
The goal for 2014 is to develop practice parameters for minimally verbal
individuals (MVI) in the areas of: characterization, evaluation, intervention,
developmental considerations and underserved populations. We will facilitate
mentorship partnerships within the projects. Specific aims include: 1) Provide
a brief review of current literature 2) Workgroups will: a. Discuss the current
literature and identify critical gaps b. Outline plans for the development of
one or two specific practice parameters c. Establish the project goals and
key milestones, aiming to present at IMFAR 2015. d. Leaders will organize
project teams with mentors partnered with junior faculty and student
members.
164 - Sensory Motor Special Interest Group (SMIG)
Session Chairs: Alison Lane, University of Newcastle, Australia;
Justin Williams, University of Aberdeen, Scotland
Room A707
Our goal for 2014-2015 is to foster collaboration between sensory and motor
researchers. The Sensorimotor Interest Group (SMIG) was formed from two
separate sensory and motor special interest groups. Hence, participants tend
to have a primary interest in either sensory or motoric aspects of autism.
However, motoric and sensory problems are closely related, and indeed, we
consider that impaired sensori-motor integration is a core developmental
impairment in autism. As such, the next generation of researchers in this field
will likely spend considerable time in their careers exploring these questions.
We consider that a valuable function of our group is to promote and facilitate
research, which can further explore the relationship between motor and
sensory problems.
Welcome Address and Sponsor Update

8:50 - Simons Foundation Update, Wendy Chung, M.D., Ph.D.
Marquis Ballroom
Even though William James claimed in 1870 that everyone knows what
attention is, many of the fundamental questions about attention remain
unanswered nearly 150 years later. In this talk, I will describe a framework for
conceptualizing the basic construct of attention, recent advances in the
neural substrates that presumably underlie the construct. In addition to
reviewing the developmental course of attention from infancy through early
childhood, I will describe a framework for thinking about how attention relates
to the emergence of executive function, and review the degree to which early
attention is related to later language and cognitive outcomes. Finally, I will
review recent findings derived from the study of attention that are relevant to
the early identification of autism spectrum disorders.

Session Chair: S. Paterson; The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Research involving older children and adults with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) has identified a range of atypicalities in brain structural and functional
connectivity. However, little is known about how and when connectivity becomes
implicated in the emergence of ASD between 6 and 24 months. These questions
are addressed in this panel through multimodal imaging studies encompassing
structural and functional connectivity analysis in infants at high risk for ASD and
controls. These studies investigate changes in resting state connectivity, and
various aspects of diffusion-based structural connectivity and white matter
organization via tract-based morphometry, analysis of network metrics and full
brain connectomics, to present a comprehensive characterization of connectivity
changes during this critical developmental period. Our data demonstrate that
changes in connectivity emerge over this period and parallel the timing of group
differences in behavior, with differences in early sensory motor areas apparent at
six months and higher order brain areas implicated at 12-24 months, as more
complex social impairments appear. These studies provide important new
information relevant to: 1) understanding underlying neural mechanisms in ASD,
2) very early developmental trajectories that are potential target phenotypes for
exploring links to etiology and teasing apart heterogeneity, and 3) early detection
and intervention targets.

179 - The Role of Environmental Epigenetics in the
Etiology of ASDs
Session Chair: M. D. Fallin; Johns Hopkins School of Public Health
Previous investigations into the etiology of autism spectrum disorders have
focused on genetic influences or environmental exposures, independently. The
scientific literature has recently recognized the importance of both sources of risk
for ASDs, and the potential for gene-environment interaction. However, the
mechanism of risk through environmental exposures, and interplay of
environmental exposures on gene expression, has largely been unexplored. The
purpose of this scientific panel is to present background and new evidence for
epigenetic associations with environmental exposures and with ASDs. A primary
focus will be on the science of epigenetics, which refers to the many layers of
molecular mechanisms that control gene expression, many of which are
susceptible to environmental influences. The potential role of epigenetic
mechanisms in environmental risk for ASDs, and for mechanisms of geneenvironment interaction will be discussed. The panel will specifically cover
examples of past and current exposures of concern, mechanisms of epigenetic
action, utility of epigenetic signatures for ASD research broadly, and windows of
developmental susceptibilityincluding somatic and germ cell mutations.
Speakers will present new findings in epigenetics in ASD and research projects
underway, including both human and animal model approaches.

180 - Illuminating the Developmental Neuropathology
of ASD
Session Chair: N. Sestan; Yale School of Medicine
Exome sequencing has led to robust identification of genes associated with
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), thus offering an unprecedented opportunity to
investigate its neuropathology. However, the large number of genes affecting risk
and their numerous biological functions challenge conventional genetic
methodologies. To overcome this hurdle we integrate recent ASD gene
discoveries with genome-wide analysis of gene expression and regulation in the
developing human brain to highlight common biological mechanisms leading to
ASD. We will present: 1) Gene-discovery from exome sequencing of the Simons
Simplex Collection and where these genes converge in their expression in the
developing human brain; 2) A novel approach to integrating exome and
expression data to greatly accelerate gene discovery; 3) A map of the gene
network regulated by CHD8, a chromatin modifier with the best evidence of
ASD-associated via loss of function mutations; and 4) Development of zebrafish
models to assess hypotheses of neuropathology in vivo. Through integration of
psychiatry, neuroscience, genetics, and statistics we present a strategy that uses
the genes discovered by exome sequencing to illuminate features of the
developmental neuropathology that underlie ASD.

181 - New Insights into the Correlates and Processes
of Competent Peer Relations During Preschool
Session Chair: N. Bauminger; Bar-Ilan University
In typical development, peers are necessities, not luxuries (Hartup, 2009, p. 3),
both for well-being and for childrens growth of cognitive, linguistic, and social
skills. Peer relations (rather than parent-child relations) constitute one of the
major known deficits for children with ASD (APA, 2013); yet there is considerable
heterogeneity. Peer relationships lie on a continuum ranging from a compelling
lack of awareness of others to relatively intact peer relations. The peer
relationship difficulties noted in older children with ASD likely begin early, but
these processes during preschool are not well understood. In this symposium we
provide novel and broad insight into the process with a focus on language
(pragmatic); social-cognitive (Theory of mind and joint attention); emotion
(emotion knowledge, regulation, temperamental negativity and effortful control)
and neuropsychological (executive function) correlates of competent peer
relations. Novel data will be presented that is based on multidimensional
assessment procedures, combining semi-structured and spontaneous
observations of peer relations, experimental tasks, and parent reports. Better
understanding of the beginnings of peer relationships should provide insight into
later difficulties and importantly pinpoint targets for early intervention for children
with ASD.

182 - Implementing Group CBT for Youth with ASD
and Anxiety in Clinical Settings: Bridging the
Research to Practice Gap
Session Chair: J. Reaven; Univ. of Colorado Denver-JFK Partners
Children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are at high risk
for developing anxiety symptoms. Cognitive behavioral treatments (CBT) are
frequently used in the general population with good success to reduce anxiety.
Recently published studies have demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety
for youth with ASD following modified CBT interventions (Storch et al. 2013).
Because the majority of treatment studies have occurred in controlled university
settings, generalizability to other settings is limited. The purpose of this
symposium is to discuss variables that may increase the adoptability of evidencebased interventions, maximizing success for clinical practice and narrowing the
research-to-practice gap. This symposium also addresses barriers to
dissemination of evidenced-based intervention that target anxiety symptoms in

youth with ASD, and identifies approaches to fostering the adoption of empirically
supported programs for youth with ASD in real-world settings. Four sites were
trained in the Facing Your Fears (FYF) program (Reaven et al., 2011) and have
implemented the treatment. Session topics include: 1) measurement of anxiety in
youth with ASD, with an emphasis on real-world application; 2) mediators of
treatment related to implementation; 3) factors that influence the adoption of
evidenced-based interventions in clinical settings; and 4) balance between
treatment fidelity and model adaptations.

GENERAL INFORMATION
IMFAR Annual Meeting International Meeting for
Autism Research
The year 2014 marks the 13th International Meeting for Autism Research
(IMFAR). The IMFAR Annual Meeting was convened for the first time in
November 2001, to provide ASD researchers from around the world with a
focused opportunity to share the rapidly moving scientific investigation of ASD.
Until that meeting, ASD researchers competed with many other groups for the
opportunity to share their work at large scientific meetings that covered a wide
range of topics. While other meetings provided some opportunity to share high
quality ASD research, none of them focused specifically on ASD. Funding for
ASD research has increased steadily, highlighted by the emergence of private
foundations, such as Autism Speaks and several NIH initiatives: The Autism
Centers for Excellence (ACE), which replaces earlier NIH programs The
Collaborative Programs of Excellence in Autism (CPEA) and the Studies to
Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART) network program.
Stimulating more scientific progress in understanding ASD requires dedicated
yearly venue for ASD researchers to share their findings and their resources.
Scientific progress in ASD also requires the continuous development of new
scientists, from many disciplines. Scientific progress in ASD is dependent upon
increasing the number and expertise of scientists working in this ASD from the
wide array of the biological and behavioral sciences. Given the complex
biological and behavioral nature of ASD, interdisciplinary training and ongoing
mentoring of new scientists and promising graduate students is necessary to
recruit talented young people in ASD research. We want to provide them with
the motivation and mentoring needed to focus a career on ASD and related
developmental disorders. Having an annual interdisciplinary meeting focused on
scientific progress in understanding and treating ASD provides an unparalleled
opportunity for recognizing, supporting, and motivating talented graduate
students and postdoctoral fellows into a career in ASD research.
Objectives of the Meeting

1. The International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) is an annual
scientific meeting, convened each spring, to exchange and disseminate new
scientific progress among ASD scientists and their trainees from around the
world. The first and primary aim of the meeting is to promote exchange and
dissemination of the latest scientific findings and to stimulate research
progress in understanding the nature, causes, and treatments for ASD.
2. Research on ASD involves sophisticated behavioral and biological
approaches. ASD affects peoples functioning in virtually every domain,
requiring interdisciplinary research collaboration to gain comprehensive
knowledge of the disorder. A second aim of the meeting is to foster
dialogue among ASD scientists across disciplines and across methods.
3. The third aim is to promote the training and development of new ASD
scientists by supporting the inclusion of postdoctoral and predoctoral
trainees as well as junior faculty who are already working in ASD research.
The opportunity for trainees and junior faculty to interact with established
ASD scientists will foster the creativity and productivity of those at all
levels.
Abstracts
Abstracts from the 2014 Annual Meeting are available on the INSAR website.
An archive of past meeting abstracts is also available online.

Data presented at the Annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) is the sole responsibility of the authors. The sponsor of the Annual Meeting, the
International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), takes no responsibility for its accuracy. Submitted IMFAR abstracts are reviewed only to ensure that the authors will be
presenting empirical data and that aims and conduct of the study, as far as can be ascertained, are consistent with international ethical guidelines for scientific research
(Declaration of Helsinki). Acceptance of an abstract for presentation at IMFAR does not represent an endorsement by the Society of the quality or accuracy of the data and
their interpretation, which judgment must await publication in a peer review journal. Consumers should recognize that study data presented at meetings is often
preliminary and in some cases speculative, and that findings and conclusions have not undergone the rigors of a true peer review process.
