Autism Spectrum Disorder | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects more than 1 million people in the United States. Behavioral and developmental therapies are the cornerstones of ASD treatments. Pharmacological intervention is used mainly to manage specific symptoms associated with the disease. However, there are only two FDA-approved treatments for irritability associated with ASD; all other treatments are off-label. Our Treatment Algorithms study provides national patient-level claims data to explore the use of key therapies in both newly diagnosed and recently treated patients, providing insight into the current treatment landscape for ASD.
