Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Since the <italic>J</italic><italic>ournal of</italic> <italic>P</italic><italic>aediatrics and</italic> <italic>C</italic><italic>hild</italic> <italic>H</italic><italic>ealth</italic> was first published, there has been substantial change in the field of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) with an exponential increase in the amount of funded and published research. In this paper, we focus on regression in children with ASD, a phenomenon that remains poorly understood. We discuss the implications of what we know about regression in ASD for the way we think about ASD more broadly and for paediatric practice.</p> </abstract>
