IMFAR WELCOME

IMFAR is celebrating its 10th anniversary and returning to the site of the first conference, San Diego! We aredelighted to welcome everyone to what we feel is our best meeting yet. We believe we have planned a very excitingand informative three days covering the very latest in research focusing on autism.

This year the Scientific Program Committee reviewed over 1,000 abstracts from around the world and has puttogether a solid meeting. As Scientific Program Chair, Dan Geschwind, notes in his remarks, there are a few newevents planned in addition to several of IMFAR’s popular features including the Invited Educational Symposia,exceptional keynote speakers, oral sessions, poster presentations, Lifetime Achievement Award and SpecialInterest Group meetings. We also have a few special surprises planned for the main reception following thepresentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award so do not miss it.

Planning a meeting like this requires the efforts of some very special people and I would like to acknowledge thosewho contributed so much of their time and effort to INSAR and the IMFAR event. Along these lines I would like tothank the INSAR Board, the Scientific Program Committee, and the many abstract reviewers who helped ensurethe inclusion of the best in autism research. A special thank you goes to Joe Dymek of ConferenceDirect whoseinvaluable assistance made the job of planning the meeting a pleasure.

I would like also to personally acknowledge the members of the Meeting Planning Committee who have worked veryhard to make the 2011 IMFAR experience special.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Welcome to IMFAR, 2011. This year marks a true milestone: the 10th anniversary of IMFAR! It seems like only afew years ago that I remember Portia Iversen of Cure Autism Now Foundation proposing that it would be useful tohave an international scientific meeting for autism researchers. Given how small the field was, we wondered ifthere would be sufficient interest and scientific advancement to warrant a meeting, even every other year. Thiswas an unnecessary worry — the field continues to grow rapidly and this year we have broken the 1,000 abstractthreshold for the first time.

This year the Program Committee has played a large role in designing the program, ranging from choosing theScientific Panels and Invited Educational Sessions, to organizing the Oral and Poster Sessions. A big thanks to allof those who served on the Scientific Program Committee, especially those who chaired the various sections of theprogram, each of whom had a major hand in creating this year’s meeting schedule (please see listing of theProgram Committee on page 12).

The program is continually evolving, but we have essentially kept the successful format developed last year. Thereare three major types of oral presentations: Invited Educational Sessions (IES), Scientific Panels, and OralSessions. The Invited Educational Symposia (IES) were all chosen from a large number of member submissions andrepresent timely overviews of important advances in the major domains of autism research, ranging from basicscience to treatment research. Scientific Panels also represent member submissions, consisting of four closely-linked 15-minute presentations on the same topic or study, chosen by the Program Committee. Similarly, the 2-hour Oral Sessions are comprised of eight abstracts that were organized by the Program Committee to presenta series of separate short scientific talks, linked by methods or theme.

There are essentially five half-day sessions. To provide an overview of each half-day’s schedule, the entire programis briefly described over the first few pages. Each morning starts with a Keynote Speaker, followed by a CoffeeBreak. During the next two hours, we have the Invited Educational Symposium (IES), which occurs in parallel withthree Oral Sessions. The same format of Oral Sessions and concurrent IES occurs in the afternoons. The onlyexception is Friday afternoon, when we will have an additional session with the six Scientific Panels and aconcurrent Oral Session. Poster Sessions, which comprise the majority of the abstracts, run concurrently eachhalf-day (8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) with about 200 posters per session. Presenters will bepresent for at least the hour indicated by the time stated in the program. The Author Name Index at the back linksabstracts to their authors alphabetically by author. Abstract numbers in bold indicate the presenting author.

We have also continued the same six Special Interest Groups (SIG) organized last year, but rather than holdingthem at lunchtime, we are holding them all in the evening on Friday, so as to provide a more casual opportunity tonetwork with those who share similar research interests. Also, we have continued the expanded TechnologyDemonstration Session that will take place on Friday morning, where innovative developments in technology relatedto autism research and practice are presented in poster format.

New this year is a special luncheon “Meet the Experts” to provide students and fellows the opportunity to networkwith professors. The idea is to provide an informal venue for students to meet professors whose work, careerpath, or techniques they would like to discuss in more depth. We are starting this as an experiment this year, sospaces are limited. Since we are talking about lunch, each registrant will receive a $50 gift card good at the hoteland local restaurants, including Seaport Village nearby for daily lunch breaks.

Several special presentations are worth mentioning. On Thursday morning after the meeting introductions andopening remarks, Dr. Tom Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, will provide a brief update onthe IACC and NIH autism-related activities. Similarly, Friday and Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. Autism Speaks andSimons Foundation will also give brief presentations. Thursday afternoon will be an awards ceremony including theLifetime Achievement Award presentation and the INSAR Advocates Awards followed by a welcome reception for allattendees.

I would like to thank David Mandell, and Manny DiCicco-Bloom, last year’s Scientific Program Committee Co-Chairs,who generously guided me through the programming process, as well as Jennifer Gentry at INSAR foradministrative support. A big thanks also to the local organizing committee and Chair, Laura Schreibman. Specialthanks goes out to acknowledge the exceptional contributions of Joe Dymek of Conference Direct for meetingplanning, organization and implementation and Richelle Topping of Confex for her dedication to the processes ofabstract submission and review and Program and Abstract Book preparation.

Hope that you have a great Meeting!

EPRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the INSAR Board of Directors, I’d like to welcome you to IMFAR 2011, our 10th anniversary meeting.We return to San Diego, the site of our first IMFAR meeting in 2001. While that meeting was considered a hugesuccess with about 250 attendees, we are expecting approximately 2,000 participants at IMFAR 2011.

INSAR continues to grow and evolve and presents a meeting that is a little better each year at reflecting theinterdisciplinary approaches at work for understanding autism spectrum disorders. While IMFAR is first andforemost a scientific meeting, the Board of Directors feels strongly that every effort must be made to also conveythe latest scientific findings to the greater autism community that has advocated for increased support of ourresearch efforts. Continuing a tradition started last year in Philadelphia, Meeting Chair Laura Schreibman hasorganized a one day pre-meeting to bring the “best of IMFAR” to the San Diego autism community. We start a newtradition this year by presenting the INSAR Advocates Award to individuals who have changed the course of autismresearch through their advocacy. The Public Relations Committee, chaired by Alison Singer and Dana Marnane, hasmade every effort to insure that the most exciting findings from IMFAR are presented to the press fordissemination to the world autism community. INSAR has endeavored through its Cultural Diversity Committeechaired by Marshalyn Yeargin-Alsop and Community Advisory Committee, chaired by Peter Bell, to insure that themeeting is attended by scientists and students of the world autism research community — particularly those fromunderdeveloped countries. We have also made greater efforts to involve individuals who are on the autismspectrum. Their unique insights and interactions with scientists who investigate autism can only speed the pace ofdiscovery.

The success of the IMFAR meeting is due to the concerted efforts of many individuals. Dan Geschwind, chair of theProgram Committee and a dedicated group of committee members worked diligently to develop a well-organized andhighly rigorous scientific meeting. Laura Schreibman, meeting chair, brought special touches to the organization of the meeting including a surprise performance at the INSAR reception. I’d also like to express appreciation to the individuals who provide administrative and technical expertise to INSAR. These include Jennifer Gentry, Suzanne Berry, Joe Dymek, Jennifer Marshall and Richelle Topping.

The IMFAR Meeting is a work in progress and we expect to continue making changes to improve future meetings.Your feedback is important to us so I welcome your comments on what went right at IMFAR 2011 and what areasyou think can be improved. One example is there were several complaints last year about the lack of Internetaccess in the convention areas. We heard you and insured that wireless Internet is available this year! Pleasewatch for an online survey link that will be sent out following the Meeting.

Finally, at this Meeting I turn over the gavel to a newly-elected president. I want to thank the members of thecurrent Board of Directors, Simon Baron-Cohen, Deb Fein, Laura Klinger and Bob Schultz for their enormous help,guidance and support over the past two years. One could not hope for a better team. It has been a privilegeserving as president for the last two years and helping, in some small way, the development of an organization thatis becoming increasingly effective in fostering international research on autism spectrum disorders. I will be a keenobserver and supporter of the future efforts and progress of INSAR.

I wish you a very productive and enjoyable Meeting.

IMFAR 2011 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Eric Courchesne, Ph.D.

Eric Courchesne is Professor of Neurosciences in the School of Medicine at the University of California San Diego (UCSD)and Director of the NIH-funded UCSD Autism Center of Excellence. He is an internationally recognized expert on brainstructural and functional abnormalities associated with autism. His Autism Center of Excellence aims to identify biobehaviormarkers of autism that will allow for earlier diagnosis and treatment by integrating behavioral, developmental, genetic,neuroanatomic and neurofunctional findings. Current ACE Center research includes MRI studies identifying structures thatare abnormal at infancy in autism and elucidating patterns of abnormal growth from infancy through adulthood. Currentfunctional brain imaging techniques seek to establish links between autistic symptoms in infants and toddlers and the brainsites responsible for them. Studies of brain tissue have discovered novel gene expression profiles and cellular defects inthe frontal cortex at the youngest ages in autism and have additionally characterized how these abnormalities change withage from early childhood and to adulthood. Dr. Courchesne’s studies have resulted in over 180 publications with an overallvery high impact factor as determined by the ISI Web of Knowledge. His research has been published in Science, JAMA,Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine and is supported through grants from NIMH, NINDS, NICHD, the SimonsFoundation and Autism Speaks.

Ricardo Dolmetsch, Ph.D.

Ricardo Dolmetsch is a faculty member in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University where he directs alaboratory that studies the underlying cellular and molecular basis of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). He is a graduateof Brown University, received his graduate degree from Stanford and did his postdoctoral training at Harvard MedicalSchool. His group has pioneered the use of adult stem cells to study the development of the brain and the mechanismsthat lead to neurodevelopmental disease. He has received numerous awards for his work including the Society forNeuroscience Young Investigator Award in 2007 and the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award in 2008. He is the author of morethan 30 scholarly publications and is the parent of a child with ASD.

Professor Annette Dionne Karmiloff-Smith

Until 2003 Annette Karmiloff-Smith was head of the Neurocognitive Development Unit at the Institute of Child Health inLondon where she ran a research team studying typical / atypical development and genotype / phenotype relations. Shenow occupies a Professorial Research Fellowship at the Birkbeck Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Universityof London. She has a “Doctorat en Psychologie Génétique et Expérimentale” from the University of Geneva, where shestudied with the famous Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget. She is the author of seven books and of over 200 chapters andarticles in scientific journals, as well as a series of booklets for parents on different aspects of foetal, infant and childdevelopment. Her research on neurodevelopmental syndromes focuses on identifying basic-level deficits in early infancyand their cascading effects over developmental time on the resulting cognitive phenotype.

Lifetime Achievement AwardThe Lifetime Achievement Award is given annually by the Executive Board of the InternationalSociety for Autism Research. This award acknowledges an individual who has madesignificant fundamental contributions to research on autism spectrum disorders that have hada lasting impact on the field. The focus of the awardee’s research can be in any discipline.

Margaret L. Bauman, M.D.Dr. Margaret L. Bauman is a distinguished pediatric neurologist and research investigator whohas been a pioneer in the study and treatment of autism for the past twenty-five years. One ofthe world’s foremost physicians in this field, she is highly respected for the outstanding clinicalcare she provides, as well as for her research and teachings in the domain of developmentaldisorders. Renowned for a wealth of clinical and research advances, Dr. Bauman’s dedicatedcareer is best exemplified in her establishment and development of The Autism ResearchFoundation (TARF), The Autism Research Consortium (TARC), LADDERS (Learning andDevelopmental Disabilities and Rehabilitation Services) and The Autism Treatment Network(ATN). Countless professionals have benefited from her teaching, leadership, and challenge toexcel. Her commitment, passion and dedication to advancing the understanding of the biologyof autism while promoting and providing the delivery of optimum clinical care define Dr.Margaret Bauman as a world leader in this field.

Special Recognition AwardBernard Rimland, M.D. (Awarded posthumously)Dr. Rimland’s forty years of work on behalf of autistic children began with a single child: hisown son, Mark Rimland, born in 1956. Dr. Rimland’s battle to help autistic children began inthe early 1960s. He discovered powerful evidence that autism was a biological disorder—afact that seems obvious now, but was revolutionary at the time. He outlined this evidence inhis seminal book Infantile Autism: The Syndrome and Its Implications for a Neural Theory ofBehavior, published in 1964. The book changed the autism world forever: it won the CenturyAward for distinguished contribution to psychology. He formed the National Society for AutisticChildren (NSAC), now known as the Autism Society of America. Through this group, parents ofchildren with autism—a very rare disorder, at the time — could offer each other moralsupport and practical advice about which therapies worked and which didn’t. Dr. Rimland knew,however, that educational treatments alone could not adequately address a devastatingbiological disorder such as autism. In 1967, he started the nonprofit Autism Research Institutein order to create a worldwide research center and clearinghouse for biomedical treatments(which barely existed at the time). In 1985, he retired from his career as a psychologist for theNavy to devote the remainder of his life to autism research.

INSAR Advocate AwardsThis award honors community members / advocates who have influenced the ability to carryout autism research.

Portia Iversen Portia Iversen was an art director and writer for film and television, winning an Emmy Awardin 1989. Her career changed abruptly in 1995 when her son Dov was diagnosed withautism, at which time Portia and her husband Jon Shestack, co-founded the Cure Autism Nowfoundation (CAN), a driving force in the emergent field of autism research. Soon afterestablishing CAN, they established the Autism Genetics Resource Exchange (AGRE), the firstautism gene bank to provide open access to data and biological samples to the entirescientific community. Iversen has served as a grant reviewer on many review boards includingfor the National Institute of Mental Health, (NIMH) and Department of Defense and she iscurrently serving on the NIMH Advisory Council. She has co-authored a number of researchpapers and studied molecular biology and neuroscience as well as founding the InternationalMeeting for Autism Research (IMFAR). Portia has received a number of community awards inrecognition of her role as an advocate for the advancement of autism research and she hasgiven presentations throughout the world. Her book: 'Strange Son' (Riverhead 2007), hasbeen translated into 10 languages. The book chronicles her experience with her nonverbal,autistic son Dov, who began to communicate at the age of nine. Portia recently founded theDescartes online community for families with nonverbal children with autism, which nowserves more than 3,000 members. Currently Portia's primary focus is on advocacy andresearch aimed at the nonverbal ASD population, and especially the advancement of theirability to communicate.

Eric London, M.D.Dr. Eric London co-founded the National Alliance for Autism Research in July 1994. NAARwas the first organization in the US dedicated to funding and accelerating biomedicalresearch and science-based approaches in autism. Dr. London set the direction of NAAR’sresearch portfolio. He conceptualized and often chaired its many multi-disciplinary scientificconferences, created the Autism Tissue Program and the Baby Siblings Research Consortium,and wrote and lectured extensively. Before IMFAR, he regularly attended meetings in variousdisciplines to encourage scientists to consider the relevancy of their work to autism andchanged the trajectory of more than a few careers. Following the merger of NAAR and AutismSpeaks, Dr. London served for three years on the Executive Board and Science AdvisoryCommittee. In his years as a psychiatrist, he has treated thousands of children and adults onthe autism spectrum. He has served as Director of Autism Treatment Research at the Institutefor Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities and is currently Director of Research at TheCenter for Discovery. He is proud to serve as a member of the Autism Science Foundation’sScientific Advisory Board.

Karen London Following the diagnosis of their son, Zachary, Karen London retired from ten years’ practice asa corporate attorney. As Co-founder of NAAR, she served as NAAR’s President for seven yearsand as a trustee for eleven years, and took the lead in NAAR’s fundraising and chaptercreation. As “volunteer director” of NAAR’s thousands of volunteers, she traveled the country— often with Zachary by her side-— to “Walk FAR for NAAR” with the tens of thousandswho walked to raise money for autism research. In 2009, Karen joined with former NAARwalk chair, Alison Singer, to launch the Autism Science Foundation, which continues NAAR’scommitment to research funding and scientific excellence, and is a sponsor of the IMFARconference. Karen continues to believe that outstanding research is the greatest gift we cangive to our families.

Jon ShestakJon Shestack is currently a movie producer in Los Angeles, California. He is the father of threeincluding Dov, 19, who has autism. In the late 90s Jon and his wife Portia started CureAutism Now, at the time, the largest most aggressive group funding biological research inautism. This group held the first meetings on the field in Animal Models, the GI / Gutconnection and Autism and Motor Disorders. In addition, with collaboration with NAAR ithelped recruit hundreds of scientists, pass the Children’s Health Act and the CombatingAutism Act. Jon and Portia started AGRE, the world’s only collaborative gene bank for autism.CAN was a very progressive organization that deeply involved stakeholders, made surescientists actually met autistic people, treated the person with autism like the customer notthe victim, and aggressively believed that you CAN indeed hurry science. Jon served on theIACC for six years. In 2004 — or so, Autism Speaks came on the scene and forcefullyengineered a merger. Jon served on the Executive Committee of Autism Speaks for threeyears. Jon currently serves on the Citizen Oversight board of the California Institute forRegenerative Medicine. He has produced several movies including the Last Seduction, AirForce One, Family Man, Bring It On, Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past and Dan in Real Life.

SLIFKA / RITVO Innovation in Autism ResearchAwards The Alan B. Slifka Foundation seeks to promote innovative research on autism spectrumdisorders that will lead to innovative treatments and improvements in the quality of life ofindividuals with autism.

Keynote Address100 - Understanding Autism from a Cross-SyndromeDevelopmental Perspective9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-D

Speaker: A. Karmiloff-Smith; Birkbeck Centre for Brain and CognitiveDevelopment, University of London

Autism and the neurodevelopmental disability, Williamssyndrome, have often been characterized at opposite ends of aneural and cognitive continuum in terms of their social andcognitive profiles, whereas in-depth analyses reveal manycommonalities that emerge across their developmentaltrajectories. In this address, I will show how tracing domain-specific phenotypic outcomes back to their domain-relevantprocesses in the infant start states can help to identify theways in which tiny initial impairments can cascade overdevelopmental time to result in large developmental differencesin the end state.

Invited Educational Symposium101 - Characterizing Cognition In NonverbalIndividuals with Autism: Innovative Assessment andTreatment10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: G. Dawson; Autism Speaks, UNC Chapel Hill

Current estimates are that one-quarter to one-half of childrenwith ASD enter school with minimal verbal skills. At this pointwe cannot determine pathways to language impairment —which children might be preverbal as preschoolers and whichones go on to be nonverbal. Parents are understandablyconcerned about this situation given the often cited finding thatchildren who speak by the time they are 5 or 6 years of agehave milder symptoms and function more adaptively as adults(Lord, 2000; Rutter, 1978). Moreover, recent evidencesuggests that while some children can learn to talk after age 5

years, most do so between 5 and 7 years, have IQs over 50and rarely progress to phrase speech (Pickett, et al, 2009).This symposium will describe a series of innovative studies forcharacterizing language impairment in school-aged childrenwith ASD with an overarching goal of enriching interventionresearch with translational, brain based methods 10:30 101.001 Assessing Cognition and Language In Nonverbal

Invited Educational Symposium106 - Imaging Genetics In ASD2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chairs: S. Y. Bookheimer, D. H. Geschwind; University ofCalifornia, Los Angeles

Combining in vivo brain imaging with genetics is a powerfulresearch tool that can reveal how genes relate to differences inbrain development, structure and function, relevant to humanneuropsychiatric disorders. The purpose of this symposium isto introduce the principles behind imaging genetics fordiscovery of gene-brain pathways, and to demonstratemethods through the use of examples in research on autismsupporting this line of research. These approaches includeboth human and animal imaging, and examples from each willbe discussed. The educational goals of the symposium willinclude learning methods for choosing genes appropriate forimaging genetics studies, interpreting imaging-genetics data,and demonstrating several approaches through specificexamples in both human and animal studies. 2:00 106.001 Introduce Theories Supporting Imaging-Genetic

Keynote Address111 - The Developmental Neurobiology of Autism: The First Steps and the Road Ahead8:15 AM - 9:15 AM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-D

Speaker: E. Courchesne; University of California, San Diego

Studies that identify early neurobiological defects in autism willopen new avenues for iPS cell, animal model, postmortem andgenetic research on autism. Knowledge gained from suchdevelopmental research will be essential to developing earlybiomarkers of risk for autism. Such knowledge will also beessential to developing behavioral and biotherapeutic treatmentsthat ameliorate consequences of brain maldevelopment andenable optimal clinical outcome for each affected individual.

Invited Educational Symposium112 - Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders:Challenges for Epidemiological and OutcomeResearch9:45 AM - 11:45 AM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: P. Howlin; Institute of Psychiatry, King’s CollegeLondon

Over recent decades there have been significant advances indiagnostic, epidemiological and intervention research involvingchildren with autism. In contrast, the quality of adult ASDresearch is far more limited. Instruments that can be usedreliably, either in research or clinical practice, to diagnose ASDin adults are few; there are no prevalence studies in adulthoodthat approach the standards of epidemiological research inchildren and large randomised control trials of psychologicalinterventions for adults are lacking. Knowledge abouttrajectories of development from child to adulthood, or offactors related to outcome is also limited. The proposededucational symposium will address issues related to thedevelopment of reliable and valid adult diagnostic measures;the need for studies of adult prevalence and the clinical and

social importance of longitudinal research on trajectories ofdevelopment from child to adulthood. 9:45 112.002 Recognition, Diagnosis and Screening for ASD In

Invited Educational Symposium117 - Translation of Intervention Research to Practice1:15 PM - 3:15 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: S. Odom; University of North Carolina

The behavioral intervention literature focusing on individualswith Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is among the mostactive in the social and clinical sciences. Yet, a gap existsbetween scientific knowledge about efficacy of interventionpractices and their use by practitioners who work withindividuals with ASD. A set of procedures has been establishedto systematically identify intervention practices that have strongscientific support. Similarly, rigorous tools and procedures arebeing established for assessing quality in intervention settings,determining implementation of practices, establishing supportfor implementation through coaching, and documenting studentoutcomes. In this symposium, presenters will describemethodology and outcomes related to each of these areas. Inthe first paper the authors will examine two methodologies forreviewing the research literature, identifying evidence-basedpractices, and summarizing practices identified. In the secondpaper, an assessment instrument for determining quality inprogram environments for students with ASD, from age 3 – 22will be presented and data on reliability and validity will bedescribed. In the third paper, the author will describe amethodology for operationalizing individual goals for individualswith ASD, called Goal Attainment Scaling, and illustrate theways it has been used in their research on coaching andimplementation. In the fourth paper, a systems approachdeveloped by the National Professional Development Centeron ASD for supporting the implementation of evidence-basedintervention practices will be presented, and outcomes (at theprogram practice and child level) will be described.

Scientific Panels121 - Intervening In Autism In Infancy: Causal Models, Research Approaches, Ethics Barriers 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: S. J. Rogers; UC Davis MIND Institute

This symposium will focus on the emerging science ofpreventative intervention for infants at risk of ASD in the firstand second year of life. A number of new studies focused onthis age period are currently in progress across the world. Theapproaches used in these infant intervention studies differmarkedly from those with older children, and the theoriesbehind them differ as well. The symposium will focus on theapplication of knowledge from developmental psychologybased on studies of normal developmental patterns in infancy,the ethics, the barriers, and the multi-disciplinary and multi-level science that needs to underlie efficacy research in infantintervention. Learning goals: 1. Participants will understand thetransactional causal model of ASD at the core of infantintervention studies; 2. Participants will understand thepotential multi-level effects (behavior, information processing,brain function, brain structure) of infant interventions andresearch methods that can test for them; 3. Participants willunderstand some of the design issues, ethical issues andsocial emotional barriers that are part of infant preventativeinterventions. 3:45 121.001 Transactional Models of ASD and Infant

Scientific Panels122 - Multinational Registry-Based Analysis of Autism Risk Factors and Trends: The InternationalCollaboration for Autism Registry Epidemiology(iCARE) 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom G-H

Session Chair: D. E. Schendel; Centers for Disease Control andPrevention

Population-based disease registry systems are invaluableresearch resources due to their prospective data collection,large size, and length of followup. Due to the relatively lowprevalence of autism and many risk factors, integration ofmultiple population-based registry systems provides enhancedstatistical power for epidemiologic analyses on pooled data.Further, multi-registry integration has the capability of applyingdata harmonization and uniform analytic methodologies —either on pooled data or for cross-registry comparisons —thereby facilitating data interpretation. The InternationalCollaboration for Autism Registry Epidemiology (iCARE) wasestablished among collaborators in Scandinavia (Denmark,Sweden, Finland and Norway), Australia, Israel and the U.S.with the initial goals to: 1) establish the infrastructure for multi-national registry autism research, including establishing amulti-registry virtual data set approach to analysis, and 2)demonstrate the capabilities of the multi-national registryapproach to investigate candidate perinatal factors and autism,autism trends and geographic variation. The panelpresentations will describe the: 1) iCARE concept, goals andsite characteristics data; 2) cross-registry data harmonizationmethods and results; 3) virtual pooled data set approach tomulti-site analysis and results of implementation; and 4) resultsof an analysis of parental age and autism based on the multi-national virtual pooled dataset. 3:45 122.001 The International Collaboration for Autism

Scientific Panels123 - Reward Processing In Autism 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM - Douglas Pavilion A

Session Chair: G. S. Dichter; University of North Carolina

A novel conceptualization of core autism deficits is that theymay reflect dysfunction of brain systems that process rewards.Specifically, it may be that decreased responsivity to socialstimuli in autism reflects a failure to assign reward value tosocial interactions. Similarly, it may be the case that restrictedrepetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests andactivities reflect hyper-reactive brain reward circuitry responsesto certain classes of stimuli, a model that could help to explainsymptoms of circumscribed interests that are highly prevalentin ASDs. The brain’s reward system, composed of densedopaminergic projections from the striatum to the prefrontalcortex, has been the focus of systematic study in otherneuropsychiatric disorders, resulting in first-linepsychopharmacologic treatments that target this system.However, reward system integrity has received relatively littleresearch attention to date in autism. The purpose of thisscientific panel is to present new brain imaging, eye-tracking,psychophysiological, behavioral, and animal model data thataddresses reward system function in autism. We hope that thispanel will encourage increased research into reward systemfunction in autism. 3:45 123.001 Reward Processing In Autism Depends on What

Session Chairs: J. Piven; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill(UNC-CH); H. C. Hazlett; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The IBIS (Infant Brain Imaging Study) Network is an NIH-funded Autism Center of Excellence. The study involveslongitudinal assessment of infants at high-risk for autism and alow-risk comparison group at 6, 12, and 24 months.Developmental, behavioral, and brain imaging data arecollected at each time point. The study is midway through datacollection and has seen over 200 six-month-olds and almost100 12-month-olds. This represents the largest prospectivesample of high-risk infants reported to date. This panel willpresent new developmental, behavioral, and neuroimaging datafrom the study and early characteristics of high-risk infants. 4:45 125.001 Prospective Characterization of Behavioral

Scientific Panels126 - International Applications of the ModifiedChecklist for Autism In Toddlers (M-CHAT) In Level 1 Screening 4:45 PM - 5:45 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom G-H

Session Chair: D. L. Robins1D. A. Fein2; (1)Georgia State University,(2)University of Connecticut

Toddler screening for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) hasbecome a widely discussed topic in recent years. Level 1screening, conducted with unselected samples, is quitechallenging in many ways. Large samples are costly and time-intensive to collect, follow-up is not always feasible and ifcases are followed, standard protocols have not been created,leading to variability in outcome measures. However, it iscritical to validate instruments in different cultures andgeographic regions, in order to verify that the tool performs asexpected across settings. The Modified Checklist for Autism inToddlers (M-CHAT; Robins, Fein, & Barton, 1999) is a parent-report measure of autism risk to be used in toddlers 16-30months. The M-CHAT has been translated into more than 30languages, but most have not yet been validated. Thisscientific panel includes reports of studies using the M-CHAT infour countries: Spain, Japan, Mexico, and the United States.Emphasis is placed on describing study procedures andcarefully characterizing the sample collected, outcomevariables, and preliminary psychometric properties of the M-CHAT in each study. This panel will allow direct comparison ofthe M-CHAT’s performance in identifying toddlers at risk forASD.

Scientific Panels127 - Shank Synaptic Genes In Autism: HumanGenetics to Mouse Models and Therapeutics 4:45 PM - 5:45 PM - Douglas Pavilion A

Session Chair: C. M. Powell; The University of Texas SouthwesternMedical Center

Human genetic studies have revealed multiple, related synapticgenes as potential causes for a small subset of AutismSpectrum Disorders (ASD). Several recent human studiesimplicate mutations, deletions, and duplications of thepostsynaptic density scaffolding genes SHANK3 and SHANK2in ASD and in the related disorder Phelan-McDermidSyndrome (PMS, 22q13 Deletion). The human genetics casefor Shank mutations as a cause of ASD and PMS will bepresented followed by unpublished studies on three completelydifferent, novel mouse genetic models based on disease-linkedmutations. At least one of these presentations will presentpreclinical evidence suggesting a novel potential therapeutictarget for ASD related to Shank3 mutation.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM Location listed under each session

IMFAR 2011 attendees are welcome to join an IMFAR SpecialInterest Group (SIG). There will be six SIG meetings at IMFAR 2011.The meetings will take place at the end of the day on Friday, May 13at 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM. This year, all 6 SIGs will be on the same dayand at the same time, but without any other competition from otherpresentations or IMFAR events. The six SIGs are: Motor ActionDevelopment, Sensory Features, Postmortem Brain TissueResearch, EEG/MEG, Sleep, and Interventions. See below forsummaries of each SIG’s plan for the meeting. Preregistration orinvitations are not required; all are welcome.

Motor Action Development (MAD) Organizer: Justin Williams, MD, Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital,University of Aberdeen ([email protected])

Elizabeth Ballroom G-H Lvl 2The Motor Action Development group will meet again at the 2011conference. The objective of this meeting will be to bring basic andclinical scientists together to generate ideas. The meeting willtherefore set itself the goal of developing some sensible topics forgrant proposals by the end of the meeting and will be broken up into3 stages — scene setting talks, breakout discussion groups, jointdiscussion and summary. The talks will be very brief (5 minutes each)by representatives of basic and clinical sciences e.g. apsychophysicist and a neuroimaging scientist, a clinical psychologistand occupational therapist (total 20 minutes). The basic scientists willtalk about what they have to offer the field, whilst the therapists willtalk about the problems that they face and the questions that theywant answering. The discussion groups will continue this dialogueand will be similarly be constituted of a balance of disciplines topromote round-table discussions about the clinical and therapeuticproblems that clinicians face, and the technologies and approachesthat basic scientists can bring. Discussion groups will be given fourtitles to consider for developing grant proposals. These will be:Assessment, Treatment, Understanding and Training. The latter titleis to consider the potential value of cross-disciplinary training. Afterthe discussion groups (40 minutes), ideas will be fed back to theChair and the group will aim to identify 3 potential topics aroundwhich grant proposals can be developed and 1 that a group memberis prepared to champion (30 minutes).

Sensory Features in Autism Moderators: Alison Lane PhD, OTR/L – The Ohio State University([email protected]), Roseann Schaaf PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA –Thomas Jefferson University, Grace Baranek PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA -University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Carissa Cascio, PhD -Vanderbilt University

Elizabeth Ballroom D Lvl 2At IMFAR 2010, 60 researchers and students attended andparticipated in the SIG session dedicated to Sensory Features inAutism. Attendees discussed issues in three key areas:characterization of sensory features and association with ASDsymptoms, interventions for sensory processing problems, and thepathogenesis of sensory features in autism. The forum provided anopportunity for many researchers in this area to meet for the firsttime, share current ideas and consider collaborations. Following the

session, the group indicated interest in maintaining connections witheach other and continuing discussions. A website, SensoryDysfunction in Autism(https://sites.google.com/site/sensorydysfunctionautism/), is currentlyunder construction that will provide a home for this group ofresearchers to share project ideas, discuss research findings and findcollaborators. The Sensory Features SIG will meet again at IMFAR 2011 to furtherdevelop the interdisciplinary connections made and to consolidate thecurrent work being done in the area of sensory differences in ASD.Specifically, the 2011 session will be more focused and devoted tobuilding a research roadmap that builds on current sensory researchin the following priority areas: • measurement of sensory features and identification of sensory

phenotypes and endophenotypes• neurophysiological and neurobiological mechanisms underlying

sensory features• efficacy of behavioral, psychopharmacological, educational, and

other therapeutic interventions for individuals with ASD who havesensory differences that impact their ability to function optimally.

In the session, attendees will describe their own projects related toeach priority area, outline what has been achieved to date andidentify ongoing gaps in our knowledge of sensory dysfunction inASD. Research road maps will be posted to the Sensory Dysfunctionin Autism website and plans made for collaborations to addressresearch needs. The group will work towards developing a strategicplan for interdisciplinary research in sensory features in ASD.

Postmortem Brain Tissue Research in Autism Organizers: Cynthia Schumann, Ph.D., UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute([email protected]) and Daniel Lightfoot, Ph.D., AutismTissue Program

Elizabeth Ballroom A-C Lvl 2Investigators who do research utilizing postmortem human braintissue face a unique challenge. They come from varying scientificdisciplines, ranging from genetics to neuroanatomy, and are broughttogether by the necessity to share a common but rare resource. Thegoal of our SIG is to bring together these diverse interests of ASDresearch in order promote the cross-disciplinary collaborations andorganization necessary for this field of research to succeed. Last year in the first half hour we had three speakers give anoverview of the state of brain tissue collection and distribution. Thisupdate was then followed by a “slide slam” where investigators hadone minute and one slide to introduce themselves and their research.Our primary goal again this year is to promote collaborations andideas among scientists in strategically sharing this exceptionalresource. We will begin by providing an update on the efforts of NIH,Autism Speaks, Simons, MIND Institute, and others to form anationally coordinated network of brain tissue collection, processing,and distribution. We will then break into small group discussions toallow our attendees to interact in a way that advances consensusabout the best strategies to move the field forward. From our survey,we have narrowed discuss topics to tissue sharing, tissue quality andbest methods to quantify, tissue processing standards anddiscussions on relevant donor clinical information across ASD andrelated neurological disorders. Each group will have a section leaderwho is responsible for providing an overview of the topic, leading aninteractive discussion, and providing a summary to the whole group

at the end. We would also like to leave time at the end for ourparticipants to interact socially and network in order to fostercollaborations. Following the SIG, members will be sent a summary of the updateand small group discussions. Proposed Schedule:6:00 PM - 6:30 PM Welcome/Updates on the formation of a

EEG/MEG Organizers: Sara Jane Webb, PhD, University of Washington([email protected]) and James McPartland, PhD, Yale ChildStudy Center

Douglas Pavillion A Lvl 1Electroencephalography (EEG) is the measurement of electricalactivity produced by the brain; magnetoencephalography is themeasurement of its resultant magnetic fields. EEG and MEG allowthe evaluation of hypotheses about the timing of brain functioning,alteration in resting and active brain states, and potential under- andover-connectivity of the brain in autism. Further, benefits derive fromthe ability to disentangle sensory processing from higher ordercognitive abilities, a differentiation that may be important inunderstanding heterogeneity in autism. Methodological advantagesare significant for this clinical population. EEG and MEG paradigmscan be designed to minimize demand for behavioral compliance orresponses, are applicable across wide age and functional ranges,and allow the study of pre-symptomatic individuals, individuals withASD, and unaffected family members. Our current understanding of autism has benefited greatly from theintegration of information across multiple levels of analysis, redefiningour understanding of the processes that contribute to autisticbehaviors. The preservation of a special interest group on EEG/MEGwill allow more investigators to engage in successful research andwill allow for faster progression toward meeting the NIH InteragencyStrategic Plan for autism. This 2011 special interest group will havethree components: (1) Methodological discussion of successfulstrategies for collection and analysis of EEG/MEG data in individualswith autism; (2) Mentor panel of postdoctoral fellows, researchscientists, and junior/senior faculty to discuss the intersection ofEEG/MEG research and career development; (3) Networkingdiscussion addressing strategies to expand training opportunities andto build collaborative infrastructure.

Sleep Organizers: Beth Malow, MD, MS, Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN([email protected] ) and Amanda Richdale, PhD, LaTrobeUniversity, Victoria, Australia

Betsy Room Lvl 2This year, to promote interactions and professional networking, we willhave a similar format to our 2009 SIG, in which we divided intoseveral topic groups. This will allow our attendees to interact in a waythat advances consensus about the best strategies to move the fieldforward. For 2011 we will have three broad topic groups: etiology andcharacteristics of sleep disorders in autism, treatment of sleep

disturbance, and impact on daytime functioning of the child and family. Each topic group will have section leaders who will share theresponsibilities for: (a) providing a 5 minute overview of their area toall attending the SIG at the beginning of the SIG, (b) leading aninteractive discussion during the breakout group, and (c)summarizing their discussion at the end of the SIG. In preparation forthe SIG, we are asking the SIG membership to provide (a) relevantjournal articles, which will be summarized in the overview by the SIGtopic group section leader and (b) questions for the subgroupinteractive discussions. This preparatory work will foster interactionsamong our group in the months leading up to the SIG, and alsoprovide an opportunity for SIG members who are unable to attendIMFAR 2011 to participate. Following the SIG members will be sent a summary of the SIGsdiscussions activities in each of the three topic groups.

Contextually-Valid Interventions for School-AgedChildren Organizers: Laura Anthony, PhD ([email protected]) and LaurenKenworthy, PhD, Children’s National Medical Center, The GeorgeWashington University

Madeleine A-D Lvl 3Though there is a preponderance of evidence behind earlyintervention and intensive behavioral approaches in treatment forASD, there are few empirically-supported treatments (EST) designedto serve school-aged children with ASD with the cognitive and verbalskills to benefit from higher-order cognitive and social interventions.The 2010 IACC Strategic Plan includes a focus on “Interventions thatimprove functioning and quality of life for people with ASD across thelifespan, including older children, adolescents, and adults with ASD.”Children with ASD with intact language and cognitive skills are auniquely under-served group in the treatment research literature, yetrecent prevalence reports suggest that this is the fastest growinggroup of individuals being newly diagnosed. This Special InterestGroup will focus on developing and/or adapting new methodologiesto increase the availability of EST for ASD. In particular, given thedifficulties in generalization that are inherent in ASD, we will focus thediscussion on how we can develop ESTs that are also contextually-based and ecologically-valid. We aim to guide discussion aroundusing a participatory research model to develop new interventiontechniques that target specific areas of difficulty that preventindividuals on the autism spectrum from meeting their long-termeducational, social and/or career goals. Possible areas of commoninterest in this multi-disciplinary SIG may be: training of mainstreampeers to foster inclusion; anxiety reduction; interpersonal andemotional skills training; active individualized social coaching; trainingin cognitive skills such as prioritizing, planning, flexibility andproblem-solving; and innovative educational and technologicalsupports. This year, our SIG will be presenting a “data blitz,” withmultiple projects presenting 1-2 slides on their study, particularlyfocusing on the most important or controversial finding, or biggestchallenge. Following the SIG, members will be sent copies of thedata blitz, which will include contact information. SIG members willalso continue to have contact through the SIG listserv, and hopefullythrough the new INSAR website.

Keynote Address129 - Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Study Autism8:15 AM - 9:15 AM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-D

Speaker: R. E. Dolmetsch; Stanford University

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a complex group ofneurodevelopmental diseases many of which have a geneticbasis. While we are starting to identify some of the mutationsthat confer susceptibility to ASDs, we known little about howthese mutations alter the development and function of thehuman brain. The ability to generate induced pluripotent stem(iPS) cells from the skin of patients with ASDs, combined withour ability for differentiation of these cells into cortical neurons,allows us to establish cellular models of ASDs in the lab. Wehave generated iPS cells from the skin of patients withsyndromic forms of autism and have differentiated these cellsinto neurons. We have identified cellular phenotypes inneurons from some of these patients that provide novelinsights into the underlying cellular basis of autism. I willdescribe our results and discuss some of the challenges ofusing iPS cells to study ASDs. This strategy is allowing us tostudy the development of patient-derived neurons for the firsttime and is helping us identify therapeutic targets for thedevelopment of new pharmaceuticals to treat ASDs and otherneurodevelopmental disorders.

Invited Educational Symposium130 - Bridging the Gaps In Knowledge of SocialInterventions for HFASD: Where We Are Now andWhere We Need to Go9:45 AM - 11:45 AM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: N. Bauminger; Bar Ilan University

Social impairment has been identified as the most enduringcore deficit facing children with autism. Several have identifieddeveloping interventions to address this impairment as a veryhigh priority. At issue is whether our current models areeffective enough to give benefit to children in their naturalenvironments of school and community. In this session, wehighlight social interventions that address a number of pressingissues for children with ASD, including feeling connected toothers at school, of developing friendships, and of reducingtheir social anxiety enough to engage with others. Models willbe described that use different delivery models from parent topeer to therapist mediated, and from focused and targetedtreatments to ecologically and multi pronged approaches.Individual differences are considered, including age andfunctioning. Finally we suggest ways forward in consideringhow to enhance treatment efficacy for affected individuals. 9:45 130.001 Does Anxiety Reduction Through Treatment Lead

Invited Educational Symposium135 - The Role of the Amygdala In Mediating Anxietyand Core Deficits In Patients with Autism SpectrumDisorders1:15 PM - 3:15 PM - Elizabeth Ballroom A-C

Session Chair: D. Stephenson; Pfizer Inc.

Anxiety often complicates the clinical picture of children andadolescents with autism and contributes to additionalimpairment. When present, anxiety also poses additionalchallenges to family members and caregivers, and mayinterfere with behavioral and educational interventions. Drugsthat are commonly used to treat anxiety disorders (e.g.,generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder) have not beenwell-studied in individuals with autism. Given the commonoccurrence of anxiety in autism, it represents an unmet need.This unmet need presents an imperative and an opportunity todevelop and test novel anti-anxiety medications. To beginaddressing this challenge, it is critical to identify andunderstand the neural substrates of anxiety in patients withautism. The amygdala is a key brain region associated withemotion, with a primary role in fear and anxiety. Recentevidence suggests that the amygdala may showpathophysiological changes in autism, and that these changesmay be linked to the core behavioral deficits of autism. Thisworkshop focuses on recent advances in our understanding ofthe role of the amygdala in autism. The goal is to examine thestructure and function of the amygdala in order to define theirrelevance to anxiety and core deficits in autism patients. Thistopic will be reviewed with an integrated educationalsymposium of panel experts that spans preclinical and clinicalresearch. 1:15 135.001 Investigation of Synaptic Plasticity Deficits in a

IMFAR Annual Meeting – International Meeting forAutism Research The year 2011 marks the 10th Anniversary of the International Meeting forAutism Research (IMFAR). The IMFAR Annual Meeting was convened for thefirst time in November 2001, to provide ASD researchers from around theworld with a focused opportunity to share the rapidly moving scientificinvestigation of ASD.

Until that meeting, ASD researchers competed with many other groups forthe opportunity to share their work at large scientific meetings that covered awide range of topics. While other meetings provided some opportunity toshare high quality ASD research, none of them focused specifically on ASD.Funding for ASD research has increased steadily, highlighted by theemergence of private foundations, such as Autism Speaks and several NIHinitiatives: The Autism Centers for Excellence (ACE), which replaces earlierNIH programs – The Collaborative Programs of Excellence in Autism (CPEA)and the Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART)network program. Stimulating more scientific progress in understanding ASDrequires dedicated yearly venue for ASD researchers to share their findingsand their resources.

Scientific progress in ASD also requires the continuous development of newscientists, from many disciplines. Scientific progress in ASD is dependentupon increasing the number and expertise of scientists working in this ASDfrom the wide array of the biological and behavioral sciences. Given thecomplex biological and behavioral nature of ASD, interdisciplinary training andongoing mentoring of new scientists and promising graduate students isnecessary to recruit talented young people in ASD research. We want toprovide them with the motivation and mentoring needed to focus a career onASD and related developmental disorders. Having an annual interdisciplinarymeeting focused on scientific progress in understanding and treating ASDprovides an unparalleled opportunity for recognizing, supporting, andmotivating talented graduate students and postdoctoral fellows into a careerin ASD research.

Objectives of the Meeting1. The International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) is an annual

scientific meeting, convened each spring, to exchange and disseminatenew scientific progress among ASD scientists and their trainees fromaround the world. The first and primary aim of the meeting is to promoteexchange and dissemination of the latest scientific findings and tostimulate research progress in understanding the nature, causes, andtreatments for ASD.

2. Research on ASD involves sophisticated behavioral and biologicalapproaches. ASD affects people’s functioning in virtually every domain,requiring interdisciplinary research collaboration to gain comprehensiveknowledge of the disorder. A second aim of the meeting is to fosterdialogue among ASD scientists across disciplines and across methods.

3. The third aim is to promote the training and development of new ASDscientists by supporting the inclusion of postdoctoral and predoctoraltrainees as well as junior faculty who are already working in ASD research.The opportunity for trainees and junior faculty to interact with establishedASD scientists will foster the creativity and productivity of those at alllevels.

4. The fourth aim is to foster diversity among ASD scientists by encouragingattendance and supporting access to the meeting for scientists andtrainees from members of traditionally underrepresented groups, includingthose from ethnic minority groups, and those with disabilities.

Abstracts Abstracts from the 2011 Annual Meeting are available on the INSAR website.
