Break the Cycle of Autism Disparities

Promoting Equity
for Children with Autism

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD; autism)
is widely known to be characterized by heterogeneity in expression and outcome trajectories but is less recognized as a condition impacted by disparities in research on what we know about autism in different communities, access to care, and advocacy.
 
These disparities are connected to social factors such as race, gender, ethnicity, culture, socio-economic status, and geographic location.
 
Further, there is a dearth of information about prevalence and resources for autism in non-Western countries.
Disparities can lead to delays in evaluation and diagnosis, insufficient or no access to care, missed- and misdiagnoses, poor educational programs, higher rates of unemployment and criminal justice interactions, and the development of other health, social, and economic concerns.

THE ISSUE

MISSION

We will address and bring attention to promoting equity in autism and work towards sustainable solutions to disparities within our home countries and on an international level. We will work with stakeholders in the community—including autistic people, caregivers and families, clinicians, service providers, and researchers—to:

Learn from and work with underserved communities to Identify pressing issues related to their experiences to disparate care and resources

Develop relevant research questions related to promoting autism equity and appropriate methodologies to study these questions

Expand the growth of interdisciplinary research on autism disparities

Emphasize the need for more international research and resources

Disseminate important information about and resources for autism to communities who experience disparities

Disseminate information about disparities and equity to stakeholders in the autism community from community stakeholders to policy makers.

We aim to be a source of support for any group or individual interested in promoting autism equity on the local, national, and international levels.

Senior Psychologist at the Marcus Autism Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Senior Program Coordinator at the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics (CCSCBE), at Emory University.

 

He obtained his PhD in Clinical and Health Psychology from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. Two years of his doctoral training took place at the Yerkes National Research Primate Center (Emory), where he approached the study of human emotions through an examination of biological determinants and evolutionary history as observed in the chimpanzee. This gave rise to numerous peer-reviewed articles, presentations at international conferences, and even appearances in international popular media like CNN and the National Geographic magazine. After his return to Emory, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Emory Autism Center (Emory School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry). At the Marcus Center, he conducts diagnostic evaluations on children and teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorder and related disorders, as well as research on two related topics: (1) the potential of mindfulness and compassion meditation practice as a systematic training to foster resilience and social competence in populations under high stress, including caregivers and providers of individuals with ASD, and (2) sociocultural factors in healthcare and cultural competence in providers. He obtained his CBCT® (Cognitively Based Compassion Training) Instructor Certificate, Level 1, in 2013, and his Senior Level in April, 2018, at Emory University. This allows him to investigate and apply clinically CBCT® to this population at the Marcus Center and internationally through the Center for Contemplative Science to a wider range of conditions.

Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Morehouse School of Medicine 

Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine 

Co-director, Southeast Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit, Emory University School of Medicine 

Founder, Break the Cycle of Health Disparities, Inc.

Medical Director, The Rubin Center for Autism and Developmental Pediatrics 

​

In addition to his private practice, The Rubin Center for Autism and Developmental Pediatrics in Sandy Springs, he directs interdisciplinary clinical programs for children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy and other developmental disabilities at Hughes Spalding Children’s Hospital, in Atlanta. He is currently working on a project to explore the disparities in availability and accessibility of diagnostic and therapeutic services for children with autism who are from low income families and communities. In 2015 he joined the Emory University Neurodevelopmental Exposure Clinic, which is an interdisciplinary, research program looking at the impact of prenatal exposures on development in the context of the social and economic disadvantage and health disparities. He also provides consultation and clinical services to the Hall County Children’s Medical Services on a regular basis. His latest publication in this area is:  Health Care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the lifespan, Springer 2016.

 

As Co-director of the Southeast PEHSU at Emory he participates in local, regional, national and international activities relating to children’s environmental health with a focus on social, economic and environmental determinants of health and disability and health disparities. In 2004, he started a program called: Break the Cycle of Children’s Environmental Health Disparities.  This program is now in its 14th year and, to date, there have been over 130 students from 50 university departments in 10 States in the USA as well as students from Latin America, Europe and Africa that have resulted in more than 100 student papers in 10 international journal supplements and 10 Books with Nova Publishers in their Public Health Series. The goal of this program is to raise awareness of children’s environmental health disparities and cultivate future leaders to address these challenges. 

 

In 2018 he partnered with Dr. Jennifer Singh, Associate Professor of Sociology at Georgia Institute of Technology, to survey the challenges faced by the low-income families who brought their children to the Autism Clinic at Hughes Spalding Children’s Hospital. This survey revealed details of the challenges faced by the families in obtaining timely and accurate diagnosis and access to necessary services, as well as providing insight into what the needs are and how the situation might be improved. The results of the survey have been presented at national and international meetings.  Attention to these disparities resulted in the connection with other researchers at other universities and was the impetus to form the Break the Cycle of Autism Disparities Workgroup. Plans for local, state and national collaboration and presentations are in the works.  

 

He is actively involved in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as the Georgia Chapter Chair of the Environmental Health Committee and District 10 Facilitator for the Community Access to Child Health Program (CATCH). He is on the Board of Scientific Counsellors at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused on promoting Sustainable Healthy Communities. He is also the Chair of the National PEHSU Steering Committee and is on the Advisory Councils of HERCULES, the Human Exposome Reach Center; the Emory Children’s Environmental Health Research Center; and the Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Education, Science, and Practice, all at Emory University and on the Board of the International Society for Child Health and the Environment.
