Addressing Unmet Medical Needs in Autism Spectrum Disorder. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 54 children has been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Core symptoms of ASD include impairments in social interaction, communication, and the presence of stereotyped repetitive behaviors. Co-occurring conditions that impact quality of life are extensive and diverse, and include irritability, anxiety, ADHD, allergies, autoimmune disorder, neuroinflammation, and epilepsy. Physicians have reported irritability impacts a majority of pediatric ASD patients. Although the presentation of ASD-associated irritability can vary with severity and age, and can be caused by a broad array of different factors including lack of sleep, the inability to communicate pain, and mental health disorders.
