Quote:
Federal regulators are looking for insight from people with autism and their families as they consider the need for new drug treatments to address the developmental disorder.

In a notice set to appear in the Federal Register next week, the Food and Drug Administration says it will host a public meeting this spring focused on autism.

“The public meeting is intended to allow FDA to obtain patient perspectives on the impact of autism on daily life as well as patient views on treatment approaches for autism,” the notice reads.
