April is Autism Acceptance Month, and Texas clinicians can call CPAN at 888-901-2726 for help finding vetted, specialized resources to support patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.

Medical, social, and community support can improve the health and wellbeing of people with autism! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends many ways primary care can serve as a medical home for children and adolescents with ASD and engage families in shared decision making: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/145/1/e20193447/36917/Identification-Evaluation-and-Management-of

As we conclude National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we want you to remember the important role pediatricians play — and how CPAN can support you — in early identification and care coordination.

For busy pediatricians, consistent screening and coordinated connections to behavioral, developmental, and community supports are essential—especially when these needs intersect with co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions that affect functioning, learning, and family well-being.

Call CPAN for targeted, clinician-ready resources to support care for patients with developmental disabilities:

The Texas Youth Depression and Su***de Research Network (TX-YDSRN) recently published an article on presentation of major depressive disorder (MDD) with co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165032724000806

Key takeaways:
1️⃣ Participants with comorbid OCD and MDD had more severe depression.
2️⃣ This comorbidity was also associated with less anhedonia and more psychomotor difficulties.
3️⃣ It’s important to account for comorbidities in symptom monitoring and treatment.

To support you in caring for pregnant and postpartum patients, PeriPAN has developed a practical Perinatal Mental Health Toolkit and companion pocket card.
