Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing neurodevelopmental disorder in the
world. Approximately 1% of the population worldwide is affected by this disorder. Children
with ASD exhibit some very stereo-typical behaviors. Their daily functionality depends on
very rigid and predictable schedules and routines. Any changes in their schedules can often
trigger negative emotional outbursts. The need to come to the hospital for procedures can be
one such trigger. The purpose of this study is to examine the post anesthesia behavior
outcomes of children with ASD.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients aged 2 years through 9 years of age scheduled for a procedure with anesthesia
at Boston Children's Hospital

- Patients must have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) according to the DSM
IV and DSM V (autism group) or an ASA score of I or II and no history of
neurodevelopmental concerns (control group)

Exclusion Criteria:

-Families who are not able to read and speak English well enough to complete the validated
surveys
