New Findings
Available to Families: Autism Speaks' Research Consortium Guide on Clinical Assessment of Infants (May 2009)
In May, the journal Pediatrics published an article authored by members of Autism Speaks' High Risk Baby Siblings Research Consortium (BSRC) to expand on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations on evaluation by primary care providers of 18 and 24 month olds with suspected autism spectrum disorder, and is part of an ongoing effort of the BSRC to share research findings with the clinical community. The paper outlines several early signs of autism that physicians and other health care providers should be aware of, and also identifies potential screening tools that may be used to detect early behavioral indicators. In addition to helping pediatricians understand the needs of children with early warning signs, the paper was meant to help support parents with questions about the development of their own child. Autism Speaks has received special permission to provide families with the complete text of the article. Read more and access a link to the full article here.
