Lifetime Achievement Award and
Presentations
110 Forty Years along the Research Trail
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM - Grand Ballroom AF Level 5
Speaker: E. R. Ritvo; UCLA
I shall describe my research career, which has focused
on understanding the nature of Autism Spectrum
Disorder for forty years. I began my child psychiatry
residency at Harvard Medical School in 1957, joined
the faculty of UCLA as an instructor in 1962, retired
there as Full Professor. I now conduct research from
my home office. Over the decades I have recruited
colleagues from many disciplines to help study my
autistic patients, and have published research papers
in the areas of; neuro-physiology, neuro-biochemistry,
pharmacotherapy, epidemiology, genetics, neuroradiology,
neuro-pathology, as well as on clinical issues.
My writings also include three books on autism. I have
alwys been an outspoken advocate for my patients and
their families, will describe some of the controversies
that engulfed the “autism world” as the decades
unfolded.
