How Is Autistic Disorder Diagnosed?
Parents usually are the first to identify unusual behavior in their child during infancy, such as unresponsiveness to sound or not making eye contact. In other cases, parents may notice their child has regressed or stopped meeting developmental milestones. 6 Diagnosis typically involves a developmental screening during a “well child” check-up followed by a comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team. A diagnosis requires a problem in at least one area of either communication, socialization, or restricted behavior before the age of 3 years.
