PHILADELPHIA, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Schools and colleges across the country rely on Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) evaluations to assess and manage student-athlete concussions on the sidelines. However, this FDA-cleared tool is not recommended for student-athletes with neurodevelopmental disorders, who often score significantly lower than neurotypical individuals. New research published Feb. 13 in the Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology demonstrates the need for alternative or modified concussion assessment norms and the need for baseline testing for autistic athletes.

Key Points: 
  • However, this FDA-cleared tool is not recommended for student-athletes with neurodevelopmental disorders, who often score significantly lower than neurotypical individuals.
  • "The [neuropsychology] field needs to expand assessment and interpretation practices and procedures for people with ASD and related developmental conditions."
  • Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disorder (LD) and ASD are not included in normative reference data.
  • This means when autistic athletes are assessed for a concussion, their data is compared to age- and gender-similar neurotypical individuals.
