Dec. 8, 2010 -- A six-month, group-based early intervention program with a special emphasis on social development can improve some of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in children as young as 2, according to a study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
The new study looked at children aged 6 to 17 with special health care needs and autism spectrum disorder in 2011. More than half of school-aged kids were age 5 or older when they were first diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, the study showed.Less than 20% were diagnosed by age 2.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatricians screen children for autism at 18 months of age. The CDC estimates that 1 in 88 children in the U.S. has an autism spectrum disorder.he is the chief science officer at Autism Speaks. We can reliably diagnosis autism by 24 months, so professionals need to do a better job, including screening all children at 18 and 24 months..
