Description:

Speaker: Audrey Thurm, PhD, Staff Scientist in the Office of Clinical Director,
Intramural Reserach Program of National Institute of Mental Health

Dr. Thurm’s expertise is in longitudinal developmental studies of rare genetic disorders, intellectual disability, and markers and early diagnosis of autism.

Topic: "Developmental Milestones and Skill Attainment Necessary for Differential Diagnosis of ASD."

Description: “ The emphasis would be on assessment and differential diagnosis in rare genetic disorders and in severe-to-profound intellectual disability, as well as in early developmental stages. Key discussion points will include understanding how to operationalize the diagnostic criteria that entails ruling out an ASD diagnosis due to social communication problems that are expected for general developmental level.”
