Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition emerging in early childhood, characterized by core features such as sociocommunicative deficits and repetitive, rigid behaviors, interests, and activities. In addition to these, disruptive behaviors (DB), including aggression, self-injury, and severe tantrums, are frequently observed in pediatric patients with ASD. The atypical antipsychotics risperidone and aripiprazole, currently the only Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for severe DB in patients with ASD, often encounter therapeutic failure or intolerance.

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mutations in the or genes, leading to dysregulation of the mTOR pathway and multisystemic manifestations.

Tourette syndrome and persistent tic disorders (collectively, TS) are impairing childhood-onset neuropsychiatric conditions. Utilizing evidence-based assessments (EBA) is standard for effective and accurate screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of TS. EBAs consist of brief screening instruments, structured/semi-structured clinician-administered interviews, self-report, and parent-report and child-report.

Importance: Care management benefits community-dwelling patients with dementia, but studies include few patients with moderate to severe dementia or from racial and ethnic minority populations, lack palliative care, and seldom reduce health care utilization.
Objective: To determine whether integrated dementia palliative care reduces dementia symptoms, caregiver depression and distress, and emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations compared with usual care in moderate to severe dementia.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A randomized clinical trial of community-dwelling patients with moderate to severe dementia and their caregivers enrolled from March 2019 to December 2020 from 2 sites in central Indiana (2-year follow-up completed on January 7, 2023).
