Question 6 does not have subcategories since it has had so few assigned projects and a small portion of total ASD funding each fiscal year, and because many projects encompassed more than one topic, it was difficult to formulate and group the research into subcategories in the same fashion as was done for the other questions. However, this will likely change as the research field concerned with ASD across the lifespan grows and matures, allowing the development of subcategories in the future.
