OverviewAI-generated summary
Maya Lopez's research focuses on the prevalence and characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children across the United States. She has published extensively on this topic as part of the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network, examining ASD prevalence in 8-year-old children at various time points, including 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. Her work also investigates early identification of ASD in younger children, specifically those aged 4 and 8 years. Additionally, Lopez has explored the metabolic imbalances associated with methylation dysregulation and oxidative damage in children with autism. She collaborates with researchers such as Allison E. Hudson at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she shares co-authored publications.
