Autism can be detected at age 1 year in some (but not all) toddlers Results of the Pierce study (2011) indicated that it is possible to detect some toddlers showing early signs autism and other delays at 12 months using a simple, broad band screening tool (i.e., the CSBS DP IT Checklist) that takes only 5 minutes for a caregiver to complete.
Research has shown that early diagnosis is crucial for a positive prognosis for children with autism. If medical comorbidities can be used to recognize vulnerability to an autism diagnosis earlier than two years old, these children could receive earlier essential intervention.
