The development of the ICF Core Sets for ASD is a cooperative effort of the WHO, the ICF Research Branch, a partner of the WHO Collaborating Centre for the Family of International Classifications in Germany (at DIMDI), the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), and the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the Karolinska Institutet (KIND) in Sweden. Guidance on this project is provided by a Steering Committee comprised of key opinion leaders in the field of ASD from all six WHO regions. This Steering Committee consists of the coauthors of this paper and Judith Hollenweger, Omar Al-Modayfer, Melissa Selb, Susan Swedo, Bedirhan Ustun. The development of ICF Core Sets for ASD is supported by the Swedish Research Council (grant nr. 523-2009-7054), and the Swedish Research Council in partnership with FAS (now renamed FORTE), FORMAS and VINNOVA (cross-disciplinary research program concerning children's and youth's mental health, grant nr. 259-2012-24).
