Compounding the problem, the research that attempts to include the profound population is inconsistent in defining it. This resulting lack of research leads to further exclusion from community and medical programs which people with profound autism need the most. Through a rigorous consensus process, a new and clear research definition for profound autism has been introduced. This clarity will help address the knowledge gap providers frequently experience in understanding how to safely and effectively serve this population, which makes up 26.7% of those with autism.
