Two-thirds of psychology studies can’t be replicated, and the world loses the great Oliver Sacks.

Scientists should slow down and return to the basic tenets of research to regain the public’s trust.

The debate about autism screening resurges, and psychologists want to blacklist the term “autism epidemic.”

Translating autism interventions for different cultures is a tricky task. One success story is the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills, which has reached at least 20 countries in a dozen languages.
