Description Health professionals serving individuals with ASD are increasingly called upon to assist in psychopharmacological treatment of interfering behaviors and other co-morbidities associated with an ASD diagnosis. Psychiatric comorbidities that often warrant medication treatment, including depression and behavior problems (e.g., aggression and self-destructive behaviors) can increase in adolescence and adulthood. Recent reviews have described a high frequency of psychotropic medication treatment in children and adolescents with ASD, and this trend continues through adulthood. Therefore, the professional practice performance gap or quality gap that needs to be addressed is health-professional knowledge in the treatment of individuals with ASD using a multidisciplinary approach including medication management coupled with behavioral interventions and data collection. The CME and CE activity will be a web-based forum where Dr. James Connell and Dr. Edward Brodkin will interview a series of physician experts on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on psychopharmacological interventions for individuals with ASD. The goal of this CME activity is to increase healthcare professional knowledge and performance in serving individuals with autism spectrum disorders through education regarding psychopharmacological interventions. Learning Objectives Recognizing and diagnosing ASD in adulthood and assessing the need for medication for individuals with ASD. Associating ADHD and OCD symptoms in individuals with ASD with medication. Define ways to treat social anxiety and other social difficulties in individuals with ASD medications and other interventions. Identify dimensions of behaviors in individuals with ASD and coordinating medication management with behavioral treatment.
